what does the resultant plugin.xml markup for the progress bar look like?

the markup is generated correctly by the product editor.

moving to Platform/UI.

Comment 4 Boris Bokowski 2006-04-24 09:21:45 EDT

Did you set org.eclipse.ui/SHOW_PROGRESS_ON_STARTUP = true?

See http://borisoneclipse.blogspot.com/2005/10/howto-splash-screen-with-progress.html

Comment 5 Boris Bokowski 2006-04-24 09:26:36 EDT

The documentation needs to be improved. If you have a suggestion as to where you would expect this information, please let me know in this bug report. Thanks!

Comment 6 Imogen 2006-04-26 01:44:46 EDT

Thanks! I searched for "intro", "splash screen" and "progress bar" in the help. I would expect a topic that explains the whole startup features like the spashscreen with all features and the welcome page.

Comment 7 Boris Bokowski 2006-04-26 08:54:08 EDT

Reopening since the documentation needs to be improved.

Released for 3.2RC7.

Comment 10 Boris Bokowski 2006-06-02 15:20:19 EDT

Verified using I20060602-0010. Filed bug 145129 against PDE Doc to have them add a note that startup progress reporting is not enabled by default.
