You create an action using

ActionFactory.IWorkbenchAction aboutAction

aboutAction = ActionFactory.ABOUT.create(window);

You then add this action to your menu,

You also need some definition of your product within the Plugin

<extension
point="org.eclipse.core.runtime.products"
id="product">
<product
name="IIS - Motor Quote Application"
application="com.ibm.ssw.motorquote.rcp.app">
<property
name="appName"
value="IBM Insurance Services - Motor Insurance Client"/>
<property
name="windowImages"
value="icons/eclipse.gif,icons/eclipse32.gif"/>
<property
name="aboutText"
value="This Rich Client Application allows local Motor
Insurance quotations to be calcluated and saved"/>
<property
name="aboutImage"
value="icons/eclipse_lg.gif"/>
</product>

</extension>

And finally you need to specify the product either in the config.ini
file or on he command line ie.
-Declipse.product=com.ibm.ssw.motorquote.rcp.product

When you run the RCP it will display the about box on the help menu and
use the details specfied in the plugin.

Best of luck
