Thanks Anthony... I was able to ferret
out that we do this:

<plugin>
    <extension point="org.eclipse.ui.intro.configExtension">
        <configExtension
configId="org.eclipse.ui.intro.universalConfig"
         
  content="$nl$/intro/DTP_overview.xml"/>
        <configExtension
configId="org.eclipse.ui.intro.universalConfig"
         
  content="$nl$/intro/DTP_tutorials.xml"/>
        <configExtension
configId="org.eclipse.ui.intro.universalConfig"
         
  content="$nl$/intro/DTP_whatsnew.xml"/>
    </extension>
</plugin>

Are we contributing to the correct intro/welcome
page?

Hi Brian,

With regards to the welcome page, this is the org.eclipse.ui.intro.configExtension
extension point. Since you already have welcome page content just search
for these in DTP.

Cheers...
Anthony

Hi all... 

Was running through the list of requirements for Galileo and we're down
to the Branding must-do requirement for Galileo in DTP. After chatting
with David Williams a bit yesterday, it seemed like a good idea to bounce
these questions to the cross projects list to see if anyone had any suggestions.
:) 

The "Branding" requirement states: "Each
major project (as determined by participating PMCs) should have an About
dialog icon with descriptive
text (e.g. provider name = "Eclipse Modeling
Project" and not simply Eclipse.org) and contribute to the welcome
page." 

To address this requirement, we're going to follow the example provided
in the description and change "Eclipse.org" to "Data Tools
Platform" for all of the DTP plug-ins and features as the provider
name. Easy enough. 

However, none of us in DTP are graphic artists (by any stretch of the imagination),
so we're hoping we can continue to use the same icon used by the Eclipse
Platform for our About dialog icon in Galileo. (That is unless someone
on the list has some graphic design, some time, and a fantastic idea for
a custom DTP icon. :) ) Though lame, using the older icon should address
the requirement and we can try and find a graphic designer in the next
release to update our look and give it a stylish new icon.

The final part of the requirement is to contribute to the welcome page.
I'm guessing this is the general platform welcome page, since DTP also
has its own welcome page that comes up sometimes. (I'm not exactly sure
of what the rules are about why/how that page appears sometimes and not
others, but I'm guessing there's a pattern there I'm just not seeing.)
That said, we would like to contribute to the main welcome page if DTP
is installed, but have no idea how to do that. 

David mentioned that there are some "easy to use" extension points,
but I'm curious if it's been documented what exactly we're supposed to
contribute to meet this requirement and how we're supposed to do that.
Any ideas, links, suggestions, and so on would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
