Hi
I'm developping my own RCP app. I've been able to show an (empty so far,
no matter) welcome page when starting on a new workspace.
My problem is: I'd like to add the same Welcome command in the help
menu, using extensions (should be easier than code, given my plugin
distribution)
I've been able to find the standard action for help and other standard
commands
<menu
id="help"
label="Help">
<command
commandId="org.eclipse.ui.help.helpContents"
id="helpContents"
style="push">
</command>
<command
commandId="org.eclipse.ui.help.helpSearch"
id="helpSearch"
style="push">
</command>
<command
commandId="org.eclipse.ui.help.aboutAction"
id="aboutAction"
style="push">
</command>
</menu>
is there anything similar for the Welcome page, that would allow me to
add it in my menu with just a <command ...> tag?
thanks for you help.

THat's ok if you want to contribute there from the main plugin.
but what if you want to add a welcome page from an additional plugin?
You dont have any more access to the ApplicationActionBarAdvisor....

It looks as though there are a couple of ways of doing this:
There is a command org.eclipse.ui.help.quickStartAction which will open
Welcome. This is the easiest if you just want to open the start page.
If you need to open a specific page in Welcome you will need to write
some Java code:
Here is some code from the intro search participant which shows a
specific page
IIntroURL url = IntroURLFactory.createIntroURL
("http://org.eclipse.ui.intro/showPage?id=" + id); //$NON-NLS-1$
return url.execute();

Hi
thanks for the answer. It makes the Welcome menu item appear, but
strange enough, it is disabled....
Any idea why?
is it related to the fact that it has been obsoleted?
is there any up to date way to have the menu item using a simple extension ?
below the content of my plugin.xml. Thanks for your help.
<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.intro">
<intro
class="org.eclipse.ui.intro.config.CustomizableIntroPart"
id="com.castsoftware.pmc.intro">
</intro>
<introProductBinding
introId="com.castsoftware.pmc.intro"
productId="com.castsoftware.pmc.console.CAST_PMC_Console">
</introProductBinding>
</extension>
<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.intro.config">
<config id = "template2_configId"
introId="com.castsoftware.pmc.intro"
content="introContent.xml">
<presentation home-page-id="root">
<implementation kind="html"/>
</presentation>
</config>
</extension>
<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.menus">
<menuContribution
locationURI="menu:org.eclipse.ui.main.menu">
<menu
id="help"
label="Help">
<separator
name="com.castsoftware.intro.separator"
visible="true">
</separator>
<command
commandId="org.eclipse.ui.help.quickStartAction"
id="quickStartAction"
style="push">
</command>
</menu>
</menuContribution>
</extension>

I took a look at how the SDK creates the Welcome menu item - the menu
item is created in WorkbenchActionBuilder.makeActions(). I must have
pointed you at the wrong place in my previous reply. For an RCP this
code would typically go in
ApplicationActionBarAdvisor.makeActions(IWorkbenchWindow)
The code is here:
if (window.getWorkbench().getIntroManager().hasIntro()) {
introAction = ActionFactory.INTRO.create(window);
register(introAction);
}
.....
protected void register(IAction action) {
Assert.isNotNull(action, "Action must not be null"); //$NON-NLS-1$
String id = action.getId();
Assert.isNotNull(id, "Action must not have null id"); //$NON-NLS-1$
getActionBarConfigurer().registerGlobalAction(action);
actions.put(id, action);
}
