[protege-discussion] Getting plugin code to run at Protege start-up time

[Richard Dunlap]

If the delay occurs only the first time you display the widget, is it a 
correct inference that you're loading static data through a method that 
either is static or could be refactored into a static method?  If so, 
then you could try writing a project plugin to call the static method 
during project load.

<chuckle> If my inference is wrong, then I'll go sit in a corner and see 
what the Protege team comes up with. :-)
