+====== Application Life Cycle ======
+A class can hook into the application lifecycle of an e4 application by adding a property into the plugin.xml file for the product element.
+<sxh xml; highlight: [9,12]>
+<plugin>
+   <extension
+         id="product"
+         point="org.eclipse.core.runtime.products">
+      <product
+            name="miworkplace"
+            application="org.eclipse.e4.ui.workbench.swt.E4Application">
+         ...
+         <property
+           name="lifeCycleURI"
+           value="bundleclass://miworkplace/miworkplace.LifeCycleManager">
+         </property>
+      </product>
+   </extension>
+</plugin>
+</sxh>
+The bundle class consists of the bundle id and the full qualified class name.
+<sxh java>
+public class LifeCycleManager {
+	@PostContextCreate
+	void postContextCreate(IApplicationContext appContext, Display display) {
+		System.out.println("Context constructed");
+	}
+	@PreSave
+	void preSave(IApplicationContext context) {
+		System.out.println("Saving ...");
+	}
+}
