Hi, in the old days of Eclipse 2.x we were able to show a Welcome page
after a feature was installed. With Eclipse 3.x a new Intro page was
included which didn't offer such possibility. My question is... has this
history changed with las Eclipse versions? Is it possible now to add a
Welcome page to my primary feature show it is shown when the feature is
installed in an already working workspace?
Thanks in advance,
Chemi.

Investigating:

I think it is more or less, the answer to my question.

Thanks a lot Rizzo. Understood the way it works.
My problem is that it means I have to tie my features to a specific
product. I can't develop a generic "Welcome to my feature" screen like
in the past in a generic way. Now, I need to build features forEclipse,
RAD, RSA, etc... including the correct extension in each build. Right?
Any suggestion?
Once again, thanks for your comments,
Chemi.
