Hi,
I'm not sure if I'm thinking about this right in eclipse terms. But when
my application opens I have a traditional layout with a view on the left
side and the editor area on the right side taking up most of the app.

When the user first opens my app I have a view that displays a welcome web
page. I want this view to be displayed as a page in the editor area so it
fills the entire editor area but know how to do that. Is it possible to
display a view as a page in the edior area? Any ideas greatly appreciated.

No, you can't put a view in the editor area ... what about something
like the current welcome perspective (intro perspective? intro view?)

When the app starts up, you see the intro, provide a button that gets
rid of it or something.

Check out the org.eclipse.ui.intro plugin (import>external plug-ins and
fragments>(projects with source folders) ) to browse the source.

You can hide the editor area in your perspective definition and let a
view fill the space.
public void createInitialLayout(IPageLayout layout) {
String editorArea = layout.getEditorArea();
layout.setEditorAreaVisible(false);
....
}
