hi everyone

i've just taken a look at the rcp welcome view. is it possible to write it
also in java or does it have to be in xml using xhtml?
what i'm trying to do is a welcome view where the user can choose between
different perspectives he wants to open. so actually all i'm asking if its
possible to open perspectives from a welcome view.

thanks, serge

from and xhtml file? or how could that be realized?

Serge,

You can create a sub-class of IIntroAction to do what you need to do.

in your xml file, provide the link and your plugin id and a sub-class of
IIntroAction to do what needs to be done when the user click the link.
Then create your sub-class of IIntroAction to open the needed Perspective.
