Description Beth Tibbitts CLA 2007-06-05 15:35:34 EDT 
This project adds items to the Eclipse Welcome screens:
intro, tutorial, and what's new pages.

When new plug-ins are installed (e.g. CDT) they will be highlighted
in yellow the next time the user restarts the workbench.

Plug-in to put CDT links on welcome pages

The links on the welcome pages go to existing locations in the CDT help.
Feel free to use however you want.

I certify that all of this content was generated by me,
albeit mostly by eclipse wizards.

Does this need to be it's own plugin or can we included it in, say the cdt.ui plugin?
Comment 3 Beth Tibbitts CLA 2007-06-05 17:47:26 EDT 
Yes it could be in another plug-in.
Just take the contents of the 'intro' directory with it along with the plugin.xml and point it at another Activator class.  

Or regenerate it yourself with the New Extension wizard.
The only thing I changed of consequence besides the wording was
the url which I have pointing to existing help content.
The wizard makes them point at the eclipse.org URL.
If you make >1, rename each one e.g. cdtIntro.xml from the sample.xml the wizard creates.  I could not get it to work putting >1 in the same xml file, must have something to do with the id strings or something.
Probably easiest to just take what I did and pop it into the cdt.ui plugin.

Cool. Thanks, Beth!
Comment 5 Beth Tibbitts CLA 2007-06-20 16:48:59 EDT 
Doug, can we get this in a build soon?
If I can help let me know.  I see other docs got updated.
Comment 6 Doug Schaefer CLA 2007-06-20 17:06:09 EDT 
Yeah, sorry about that Beth. I'll do this tonight with some other doc things I need to do.
Comment 7 Doug Schaefer CLA 2007-06-21 10:54:16 EDT 
Thanks, Beth. Looks great. I've added the extensions and the intro content into the doc.user plugin.
Comment 8 Chris Recoskie CLA 2007-06-21 11:31:43 EDT 
The links show up on the Overview and What's New pages, but don't seem to do anything.  Is there something special that I need to do?

You might need to do a -clean. In my run-time work bench, they both open the User doc, in the overview to the first page, and the what's new to Ken's what's new page.
