Hi Amila, Sorry if I mislead you with my suggestion. We will have to look more in to eclipse startup process to see the possibility of this.
With the previous approach, what we could see is that perspective is rendered and loaded in the early stage of startup. Having the login window shown upon perspective loading blocks the main UI thread (since its a dialog box) and waits upon user's action. This caused eclipse loading to be postponed till user reacts. To be clear, what I had in my mind is about a non-blocking approach to give user some other kind of UI feedback.
