I don't think that you can replace the content entirely, without removing the plugins which declare that content. You can extend the welcome to include your own tutorial content, this might help: http:// help.eclipse.org/helios/topic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/g uide/ua_intro_universal_contributing.htm

Thankyou very much chris, I am able to remove all the contributions to the tutorial page. And the tutorial page was displayed with out any links.

Now in the available space, I want to load html content through some content provider. I am unable to do so.......

Thanks in advance...

There are a few examples of ContentProviders that Eclipse uses - if you take a look at org.eclipse.ui.intro/org.eclipse.ui.intro.contentproviders there is both a Checkbox and the RSS Viewer. Check them out, they may help you implement your own.

yes you are right Chris, I had added contentProvider tag under group tag insted of link.

<extensionContent id="group_extention" name="Java Development" alt-style="css/tutorials.properties" style="css/tutorials.css" path="tutorials/@">
<group id="java" style-id="content-group">

<contentProvider id="url= http://web.progress.com/en/mediacasts/rss.html##welcome_item s=1##no_news_url=http://www.abc.com/##no_news_text=Welcome to the xyz Community Page" pluginId="ownwelcome" class="ownwelcome.RSSTest" />
</group>
</extensionContent>

This woked for me, html content is passed from RSSTest.

Thanks a lot Smile
