Eclipse RCP?

Lars has some of the best tutorials. You should bookmark that!

The Password-Dialog should be about what you're searching:

I'm trying to compile the source code of eclipse inside eclipse IDE.
When I run the source code of eclipse IDE I want to add a message before eclipse IDE launches?? Mean some message before Eclipse Juno blue screen appears.

ok, You can still use a lot of what Lars Vogella has there in his tutorials.

What you want is called "Splash Screen". Also often is the process of using such included in the "Branding" of an Extension.

Thanks for reply's!

Well the issue is not that I want a splash screen or Password dialog. Issue is I want to add this on start up and I dont know the location to insert this code. Eclipse source code is set of plugins which does not have a single "main" class. If it was with main class I would have inserted my required code in main class just before the eclipse launch function triggered.
