Package Explorer. I don't need to install or unzip anything like the
current sample URL's do. The Any tips on how to do this? I assume I should
be able to use the url="http://org.eclipse.ui.intro/runAction?" command
but I have yet to figure out the proper syntax for dislpaying a simple
jave file.
Thanks!

David,
you are correct in that you have to use the =
url=3D"http://org.eclipse.ui.intro/runAction?" intro action, but there =
is no "proper syntax for dislpaying a simple
jave file".=20
There is a prefabricated list of supported intro actions. The attached =
file lists them all. Look at the syntax for the runAction one and let me =
know if you need help. The idea is that you pass the url the name of the =
action class to run, and the plugin id from which to load it. If your =
action subclasses the jface IAction class, then the run method of your =
action class will be called. If you subclass IIntroAction (look at the =
org.eclipse.ui.internal.intro.impl.model.IIntroAction class), then the =
following method is called:
/**
* Called right before the run method of the action. The properties
* represents the key=3Dvalue pairs extracted from the intro URL query.
*=20
* @param site
* @param params
*/
void initialize(IIntroSite site, Properties params);
=20
In your case, you have to write your own action to open a java file =
(search Eclipse code base for samples). Now since you most probably want =
to point to any file (and hence re-use the same action class) subclass =
IIntroAction to be able to get the name of the class to load, and pass =
it as a property to your action class. =20
PLEASE note the following:
1) intro url action can only be used if you are re-using the supplied =
customizable intro part (search this new group for more info on this =
part).=20
2) DISCLAIMER: the intro url actions are still not finalized, so please =
keep in mind that the stuff Im writting here is for >=3DM8 build. Also =
note that IIntroAction class is internal. But we are in the process of =
opening apis a bit.
Attached are the supported actions, and a sample IIntroAction that opens =
up a perspective. The perspective id is retrieved from the url action =
properties passed in like this:
http://org.eclipse.ui.intro/runAction?pluginId=3Dorg.eclipse .ui.intro.exa=
mples&class=3Dorg.eclipse.ui.intro.examples.parts.OpenPe rspectiveAction&p=
erspectiveId=3Dorg.eclipse.jdt.ui.JavaPerspective">
Hope this helps...

(but yes and no :) )
The yes is for "...One other question, is there a way to reuse the intro
framework while retaining access to the Eclipse Intro? I would like to be
able to have Help Introduction launch the Eclipse Intro..."
The no if for "....and add a new option Help > MyPlugin Introduction launch
my own intro".
I said "absolutely" because one of the main ideas behind introducing markup
to contribute intro content was to allow third party plugin contribution
intro existing content. ie" extensible/pluggable design. Products build on
top of products, or re-use compoenents of products. And so there was a
design rquirement to allow for re-use / extension of existing intros.
You can contribute to the existing Eclipse Intro in two ways.
1) You can contribute your own "extensions" to the intro. Loot at the
org.eclipse.jdt and org.eclipse.pde plugins. They both contribute Java and
PDE intro content to the existing base platform intro content. Look at the
markup in the *.xml intro files in those plugins for markup examples. The
idea is that there is an extension point
(org.eclipse.ui.intro.configExtension) to contribute your own intro content
to an existing intro config. In your case, you contribute to the Eclipse
platform intro configuration. Eg from JDT plugin:
<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.intro.configExtension">
<configExtension
configId="org.eclipse.platform.introConfig"
content="overviewExtensionContent.xml"/>
<...>
</extension>
The above contribution takes all the intro content from
overviewExtensionContent.xml and merges it into an intro config with id=
org.eclipse.platform.introConfig, which happens to be the Eclipse platform
intro configuration.
2) you can "include" someone elses intro content in yours. You define the
main intro and re-use someone elses content, (no examples in platform yet).
I responded with no above because I dont believe you would want your own
intro to show up AND have someone els's intro show up too. The current
design of intro is that there is a one to one mapping between a product and
an intro. Even though there could be more than one product defined in an
given pltform installl, only one product is really picked on Eclipse
startup. So you should decide what your "product" is and then choose one of
the options above. If your product is the Eclipse SDK itself, just
contribute like the JDT or PDE plugins. If you have your own product, you
would have to use option two above.
Hope this helps...
