How to create a custom WelcomePage [message #448899] Sat, 06 May 2006 19:17 Go to next message

Does anyone know how to create a "custom" WelcomePage, or modify the
existing WelcomePage? There are no tutorials, nor articles anywhere, and
I know it can be done. Any help or suggestions would be much appriciated.
Thanks,
Christina

Hi Christina,

you will have to use the org.eclipse.ui.intro framework. There is some
documentation on it in the eclipse help. Just do a search on intro.
Basicly you will have to define an extension for an IntroPart that will
be binded to a product and displayed on first startup. Also have a look
at CustomizableIntroPart to build your part on.
Hope that helps.

Best regards
Alex

I suggest you to do this:

- Create a new project using the template "RCP application with an intro".

There you can learn how to build an intro for your app. Look at the generated files relative to the welcome page such as "content" folder and introContent.xml.

Using it at a start point you can just customize it. I did it and it works fine.

Luck for you,

AG.
