Swing Client - load main window tabs / menus / menu entries via OSGI component

Description

We have implemented a Asterisk feature in ADempiere where you can start/end calls from within the application. Also there is a popup window on the desktop when you receive a call and a info-window like window with a telephone list. Now i want to implement this as a plug-in in iDempiere but i noticed that there are no hooks which tell my plugin that the user is logged in so i thought about the following:
-In AMenu.jbinit() where all the main window tabs (menu tree tab, workflow tab,...) are created, we could load additional tabs from plug-ins via OSGI component definitions.
-In AMenu.createMenu() we could load additional menus/menu entires via OSGI component definitions
-In APanel.createMenu() we could load additional menus/menu entires via OSGI component definitions

We don't think this would be necessary for the zk client because there you can simply add DashboardPanels.

OSGI_Menu_Tab_2: additional Patch:
-load all new menus first
-load all additional menu entries for ALL menus
-->This way, a plug-in can provide a menu and other plug-ins can provide additional entries for this menu

The patch contains the following:
-A MainWindowTabFactory for adding tabs to the main window via osgi
-A DefaultMainWindowTabFactory for creating the default tabs in the main window
-A MenuFactory for adding menu items/menus to the main window, windows, form frames and viewers
-A fix for the MiniTable if the where clause is null
-Changes in WFActivity to adopt the MainWindowTabFactory
-Changes in AEnv to adopt the menu factory
