Migrate AutomaticUpdateScheduler from IStartup to OSGi EventHandler

[HannesWell]

... for the UIEvents.UILifeCycle.APP_STARTUP_COMPLETE event.

This is a less Eclipse specific approach and also prevents the user from disabling the start-up task.
The automatic search for updates can still be disabled.

Based on the work in eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.ui#1362.

Shouldn't we check if automated updates are disabled before starting the job?

[iloveeclipse]

With "Early startup" one could disable updates job. Now it is always started even if updates are not enabled. I think this is a regression.

There is a dedicated preference to control the automatic search for updates:

So yes now the job always runs, but the job still respects the preference so if you have disabled updates, it is basically a noop.

I can also refactor this to only run the job if the preference is enabled, but I'm not sure what's best in regard of IDE start-up speed. Check the preference before running the job or within the job and potentially exit early?
Of course starting a job has an overhead but so does checking a preference.

@HannesWell @iloveeclipse should we further work on this or should we close this?

I would still be in favor of having this and was waiting for the response of @iloveeclipse on my previous response:

Check the preference before running the job or within the job and potentially exit early?
Of course starting a job has an overhead but so does checking a preference.

I would avoid starting job if possible, because compared with a single preference check extra job adds extra complexity for the overall IDE startup, uses shared resources (worker pool), adds async execution effects.

[vogella]

@HannesWell could you move the preference check before starting the job? Would be nice to have this finished.

[laeubi]

@HannesWell my suggestion would be to either finish this for 2026-03 M1 or we close the PR as it is celebrating its second anniversary soon.
