In the 3.x world, we have code in a runUI() method that creates the splash handler, an "init" thread that's allowed to post asyncExecs that will run (more or less), and spins the event loop while initializing the workbench in the init thread. In e4, we would need equivalent code in org.eclipse.e4.ui.workbench.swt.internal.PartRenderingEngine.run(MApplicationElement, IEclipseContext) so that the model could be created/initialized and the GUI created all while displaying the splash and spinning the event loop. AFAIK we will continue to use the splash handler (with enough modifications to make it e4 friendly). But no one has looked at this yet. PW -- Paul Webster Hi floor.
