Description Frank Du

2008-12-19 10:54:01 EST

Build ID: M20080911-1700

Steps To Reproduce:
1. Create a RCP application with the intro template
2. Run the program.
3. Open the Welcome page (Help -> Welcome).
4. On the welcome page, there is a title 'Welcome to RCP Product' or something like that. But the title of the view part is 'Welcome', which is not able to be changed. I'd like to change it to 'Start' or something else.

Eric, does the title of the welcome frame come from Platform UI?

I think this falls under Platform UI.

That comes from org.eclipse.ui/plugin.xml

      <view
            class="org.eclipse.ui.internal.ViewIntroAdapterPart"
            category="org.eclipse.ui"
            name="%Views.IntroAdapter"
            id="org.eclipse.ui.internal.introview">
      </view>

The request makes a lot of sense to me, I'll take a look to see if anything can be done in 3.5 (i.e. without introducing API).

Should we provide the ability to change view labels on all views or just the Welcome?

I'm reasonably sure that doing this for the Intro would be straightforward since we already have API (IIntroManager, IIntroPart...) to hook teh changes into. On the other hand it seems like something other RCP folks might want to do to other view as well.

One (short term) possibility would be to use the XSLT transform approach to 'zap' the name in the XML...

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
