Hi

The standard eclipse welcome page is displayed in its own site which is
maximized by default (and too small back at normal size). But i want to
refer to the different views of my application from the welcome page, so
the welcome content could read "This is the editor area. To the left you
see the project explorer, etc.". To achieve this, i need to use the
editors site as container for the welcome page. How can i do this?

Thanks for any advice

Oh,before i did that with class :StackLayout .
First you can new and initialize a container with some content or
controls you need ,then use the property of StackLayout :topControl,
last re-positions and re-sizes that using function Layout() of the newly
container's parent composite you created just now.

Thx, I also found a solution. I use
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getBrowserSupport().createBrowser( ) method to
show the welcome page in the internal web browser. I had to specify
IWorkbenchBrowserSupport.AS_EDITOR as style, now it is displayed
correctly. If I call this from a org.eclipse.ui.startup extension point,
it gets shown on every startup, which is exactly what i wanted.

Hi,
I would like to do something similar. I am using eclipse's default welcome page for my Rich Client application product.
The createBrowser takes in a String argument called browser-id. What should it set to?

I guess we should follow it up with a call to openURL. Is that right? What should the value of the URL be?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Alok
