Using Splash Screen progress bar in 3.2 RC4 [message #450251] Wed, 31 May 2006 17:46 Go to next message

Hi All,

I am trying to use the nifty new progress bar with my splash screen on
launch by adding progress bar to my .product file on the branding page.
This is described in The Plug-in Development Environment under "Whats New".
I found that even though my splash screen (splash.bmp) is in the products
defining plug-in, I still have to specify that that is where it is (although
the text says I don't have to). Also, I set up the progress bar with
exactly the same coordinates I saw in the documentation, and I still don't
have the progress bar showing up - not when I use the launch, and not when I
export. Is this a bug, or am I missing something?

Thanks for the help.
Susan.

Boris,

I tried putting the line:
org.eclipse.ui/SHOW_PROGRESS_ON_STARTUP = true

into the ini file that matches my launcher name
So - myRCP.exe is my launcher and myRCP.ini is the ini file. This didn't
make the progress bar appear. I also tried putting it in the config.ini and
the eclipseproduct.ini - on the off chance that is what you meant by

"Enable startup progress reporting by putting the following line into your
preference customization file (often called plugin_customization.ini):
org.eclipse.ui/SHOW_PROGRESS_ON_STARTUP = true"

Still no go.
Susan.

by default, this is in the plugin_customization.ini. ex, in
plugins/org.eclipse.sdk_3.2.0.N20060531-0010/plugin_customiz ation.ini or
plugins/org.eclipse.platform_3.2.0.N20060531-0010/plugin_cus tomization.ini
it's:
org.eclipse.ui/SHOW_PROGRESS_ON_STARTUP=true

What happens when you do it without the spaces?

Later,

I tried the line without spaces:
org.eclipse.ui/SHOW_PROGRESS_ON_STARTUP=true

in myPlugin.ini, which matches myPlugin.exe launcher, and in a
plugin_customization.ini file in my defining plugin. No joy. I also tried
it without org.eclipse.ui at the beginning.

I don't distribute org.eclipse.sdk OR org.eclipse.platform in my RCP, and I
certainly don't want to add them for a status bar on startup.

Has anyone gotten this to work, and if so, how did you do it?

In order for your plugin_customization.ini file to work, you need to tie
it to your product:

I have done the following:

1) In 3.2 set the myPlugin.properties file to use the progress bar
<splash
location="com.intel.iegd"
startupProgressRect="0,315,500,15"
startupMessageRect="7,0,441,20"
startupForegroundColor="FFFFFF" />

2) Added a plugin_customization.ini entry
org.eclipse.ui/SHOW_PROGRESS_ON_STARTUP=true

3) Included an entry in my plugin.xml to use the plugin_customization.ini
<product
application="com.myPlugin"
name="My Plugin with Splasch Screen Progress Bar">
<property
name="preferenceCustomization"
value="plugin_customization.ini"/>

I now get a progress bar in my launch configuration (hooray), and when I
export using the export wizard but NOT when I do a headless build. I
suppose I am missing a plugin this depends on? If so, which one?
Everything else in my RCP works just fine with 3.2RC7.

Susan.

These values need to be put into the product extension:

startupProgressRect="0,315,500,15"
startupMessageRect="7,0,441,20"
startupForegroundColor="FFFFFF"

so your plugin.xml should look something like this:

<product application="com.myPlugin" name="My Plugin with Splasch Screen
Progress Bar">
<property name="preferenceCustomization"
value="plugin_customization.ini"/>
<property name="startupProgressRect" value="0,315,500,15"/>
<property name="startupMessageRect" value="7,0,441,20"/>
<property name="startupForegroundColor" value="FFFFFF"/>
</product>

It still only works in the development environment, not when I export it.

Any other ideas?

Susan.
