Disabling the welcome view [message #289979]

Hi,

I would like to disable the new welcome view in our eclipse-based
offering, so that after the splash screen vanishes, our users will get
straight to the workbench (preferably to our perspective). I know I can
set the default perspective using a command line argument, but how can I
disable the welcome view?

Thanks in advance,

- Eran B.

U can try with the code below..

IWorkbench workbench = PlatformUI.getWorkbench();
IWorkbenchWindow window = workbench.getActiveWorkbenchWindow();
IWorkbenchPage page = window.getActivePage();
IViewReference[] viewRefs = page.getViewReferences();
// this will give u all the view references..
// so run a for loop and check for the introview id , that is nothing but
the welcome page id...

if (viewRefs[i].getId().equals("org.eclipse.ui.internal.introview ")) {
IViewPart part = page.findView("org.eclipse.ui.internal.introview");
page.hideView(part); // this will hide the view...
}
