Links to files in the About dialog AboutText variable [message #628177]

Hi Eclipse comminity,

I am trying to customize the about dialog of through the aboutText variable...

I have managed to set it inside the file plugin.properties of my plugin as follows:

<property
name="aboutText"
value="%aboutText"/>

with %aboutText defined in about.ini

My question is how can I create a nice link to a file on disk inside the about dialog ?

Thanks for any help/tip about modifying/customizing the about dialog...

Hello,

I have been able to find a way to create links by including addresses on the form:

http://mylinkontheweb.com

OR

file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/test.txt

in the aboutText variable for the About dialog...

but the format of those links is visually not nice (especially for a file on disk)...

any additionnal ideas would be welcomed.

Thanks
