Application programming interfaces describing the Eclipse 4 lifecycle annotations.

## Package Specification

The package provides annotations that can be used in a lifecycle class. A product can provide a lifecycle manager object. An instance of this object will be created and called into by E4AP using a set of annotated methods. The lifecycle manager class is provided as a URI either using the "lifeCycleURI" product property or from the "-lifeCycleURI" command-line argument; only a single lifecycle manager is supported at present. The lifecycle manager is created on the application context.

Currently supported annotations are those in org.eclipse.e4.ui.workbench.lifecycle:

- PostContextCreate: called after the application context has been created, but prior to the model having been loaded
- ProcessAdditions: called once the application model is loaded.
- ProcessRemovals: called after ProcessAdditions
- PreSave: called before the model is persisted
