| Splash cached in workspace? [message #308489] |

In our product defining plugin, we have a splash.bmp. The user installs our
Eclipse based product, they launch and see v1.0 of our splash page. We issue
an update to the product and change our splash page image to v2.0 (for
example). When, the user launches the product after getting the new version
of our plugin (that has the new splash image), they still see the 1.0 splash
page. Is the splash image cached someplace in the workspace? Deleting the
workspace seems to correct this, but obviously thats a bad solution for me
to tell users of our tool. Is this a bug in Eclipse, or are we
misunderstanding how this is supposed to work?
Thanks!
Dave

Yes, the splash may be cached. If the plug-in that is providing the
splash.bmp is a jar, then the splash.bmp will be extracted from the jar
and cached in the org.eclipse.osgi subdirectory of the configuration area.
If you run with -clean, then the cache will be deleted and the
splash.bmp will be updated.

Ah, thanks! -clean is exactly what I was looking for!
