  Behaviors

  When launching VS Code, auto header insertion does not work until a licenser command is issued manually to activate the extenstion.

Expected behavior

Extension should be active and insert headers automatically following startup.

Actual behavior

A licenser command must be executed manually before auto insertion is enabled.

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. Launch VS Code
2. Create a new file (header is not inserted)
3. Manually run "licenser: Insert license header"
4. Create another new file (header is inserted automatically)

VS Code supports an onStartupFinished activation event which could perhaps be used:

"activationEvents": [
    "onStartupFinished"
]

Hi @drtyh2o, How are u? I think that this problem occurs because the activate method is not implemented yet, I'll take a look when I have some time.

I think that this problem occurs because the activate method is not implemented yet, I'll take a look when I have some time.

I took a peek at the code and there is an activate method (I think one is required). I modified the activationEvents in the package.json of my local installation as above and the extension activates during startup and automatic header insertion works. Thanks for looking into this. Cool extension!
