Hi all,
I'm using Eclipse 3.2 to build an RCP application based on the Eclipse
Workbench. I want to use the Universal Welcome, and I would like to have
some Cheat Sheets off of the Tutorial page in my Welcome. Here is a sample
link within my tutorial.xml:
<link
url= http://org.eclipse.ui.intro/showStandby?partId=org.eclipse.p latform.cheatsheet&input=com.myapp.cheatsheet.helloworld
label="Create a Hello World Application" id="hello-world"
style-id="content-link">
<text>Learn how to create a simple application.</text>
</link>
To have access to the CheatSheetStandbyContent class, I need to add
org.eclipse.platform to my list of required plug-ins. But this causes *all*
of the org.eclipse.platform links to show up in my Welcome pages. I don't
mind if someone drops my own plug-ins into their app (or drops their
plug-ins into mine) and I end up picking up the org.eclipse.platform
contributions. That's the whole point of the Universal Welcome. But I would
prefer to not have to ship my standalone app with org.eclipse.platform and
all of its welcome contributions.
Shouldn't the CheatSheetStandbyContent class have been put into a different
plug-in, rather than org.eclipse.platform? If I want to use the Universal
Welcome and avoid org.eclipse.platform, it seems like my only option is to
create my own copy of CheatSheetStandbyContent in my own plug-in. Any other
suggestions or advice?
Thanks!
-Chris
