   * To subscribe to events, use a [listener](plugin_listeners.md) or create an [extension](plugin_extensions.md) for a dedicated extension point (for example, `com.intellij.editorFactoryListener`) if one exists for the event you need to subscribe to.

If you can't avoid this, add a [listener](plugin_listeners.md) subscribing to the [AppLifecycleListener](upsource:///platform/platform-impl/src/com/intellij/ide/AppLifecycleListener.java) topic.
   * To execute code when a project is being opened, provide [StartupActivity](upsource:///platform/core-api/src/com/intellij/openapi/startup/StartupActivity.java) implementation and register an [extension](plugin_extensions.md) for the `com.intellij.postStartupActivity` or `com.intellij.backgroundPostStartupActivity` extension point (the latter is supported starting with version 2019.3 of the platform).
   * To execute code on project closing or application shutdown, implement the `Disposable` interface in a [Service](plugin_services.md)
     and place the code in the `dispose()` method, or use `Disposer.register()` passing a `Project` or `Application` instance
