Description Benjamin Pasero CLA 2006-12-10 11:20:17 EST 
Eclipse 3.3. M3

preShutdown() should provide details about how the application was closed:

- QuitAction
- Shell closed
- ESC pressed

Usecase: A lot of applications provide an option to move the application to the system-tray when you hit the Close-Button on the Shell. However, as soon as the user performs the QuitAction, the application should really quit.

Ben please feel free to attach a suggested API as a patch. Bear in mind that M5 is the API freeze for 3.3.

It turns out WorkbenchWindowAdvisor#preWindowShellClose() is totally doing what I was looking for :)
