How to open a welcome home page without prompt [message #475561] Tue, 12 May 2009 04:55 Go to next message

Hi,

I use the "QuickStartAction" to return to the home page in welcome page:

<a
href=" http://org.eclipse.ui.intro/runAction?pluginId=org.eclipse.u i.ide&class=org.eclipse.ui.actions.QuickStartAction& standby=false">
Welcome Page
</a>

When I click the link, a "Show welcome page for:" dialog appears for
selecting a specific welcome page (actually there's only one choice).
What I want is to skip this dialog (no need to choose). Is that
possible? And how to make that?

Thanks in advance.

MJ

It looks like QuickStartAction is deprecated. I think IntroAction is the
one thats linked to the Welcome action in the top-level Help menu.

Since its an internal class, perhaps you can write your own action that
does the same thing. Basically all it does is call

PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getIntroManager().showIntro(..)

Hope that helps,
Ben

ExtensionPointManager extensionPointManager = IntroPlugin.getDefault()
.getExtensionPointManager();
IntroModelRoot model = extensionPointManager.getCurrentModel();
model.setCurrentPageId(homeId);
