public static void accessDisplayDuringStartup()
This method allows threads spawned early in the workbench startup process
to access the Display via the
Display.asyncExec(Runnable)
and
Display.syncExec(Runnable)
methods.
Without invoking this method from a given thread subsequent calls to the
above Display methods will behave as follows:
Display.asyncExec(Runnable)
will not be
invoked until after the Workbench is fully restored.Display.syncExec(Runnable)
will block
until the Workbench is fully restored.
This method MUST NOT be called from threads created by the workbench. If
invoked from any thread owned by the Workbench this method will throw an
IllegalStateException
.
It is recommended that this method be used from ALL threads that touch the display during the startup process, even those that may have been created in the main application class.
This method has no effect after the workbench has been restored.
IllegalStateException
- thrown if invoked from a thread created by the workbench.
