this class is replaced by the intro support it should be depricated. pasted nicks email note on this as well: The old welcome support was all moved up to the IDE layer. RCP apps should use the new intro mechanism. We should deprecate QuickStartAction. The welcomePage= attribute in org.eclipse.platform should be deprecated too. Since the new intro mechanism is introduced in org.eclipse.platform, and causes the old Help > Welcome action to disappear, any welcomePage= content here or in other features will not be seen. Or does the new intro support have some way of showing the old content? I assume that the WS*.* products are moving to the new mechanism.
Dejan or Kim, is old welcome content completely inaccessible now? What about products building on top of the IDE stack like WSAD. Are they all moving over to intro? I've added deprecated tags to QuickStartAction and IDEActionFactory.QUICK_START, but if there's no way these will ever be used, we should just remove them.
The old welcome content will still appear in the event that your product does not have an intro.
But our product here (the SDK) defines the intro in its primary feature plugin (org.eclipse.platform), so we'll always have the intro. Other RCP apps may not, but the QuickStartAction is only at the IDE layer anyway. Does the new intro experience provide any way of accessing the old welcome content?
Will leave QuickStartAction and IDEActionFactory.QUICK_START_ACTION in, but deprecated.
