| [platform-ua-dev] Trouble getting content to display in the Welcome screen |
Hiya,
My first post to this list. I’ve looked about – platform help, articles, list archives, etc. – and haven’t had much luck answering this question.
My principal question is: Is any intro part functionality for a given product defined anywhere but in an org.eclipse.ui.intro extension?
More below:
I’m trying to define an intro using an intro extension and specifying CustomizableIntroPart as the IintroPart implementation. I’m expecting to be able to click Help > Welcome > my_product and have the HTML file my intro extension points to displayed in the dialog that appears. But while my product’s name shows up in the disambiguator dialog, I don’t get any content in the Welcome window – nothing.
- We had no class implementing IintroPart and no extension whose point is org.eclipse.ui.intro prior to my writing a simple (hello world, basically) extension.
- The product’s name (and the PDE’s) showed up in the disambiguator before I did anything at all (ie, before I added my intro extension). How does Eclipse know I want a Welcome screen?
- My plugin doesn’t appear among the plugins listed from the About dialog.
- This is version 3.1 – no welcomePage is specified.
- I admit I’m not completely clear on what value should be used for the productId attribute in the introProductBinding element – the eclipse.product value specified in the eclipse.ini file? the id of the product’s org.eclipse.core.runtime.products extension? the plugin attribute value specified for the feature? I’ve tried all of these and still no luck.
Thanks in advance,
Steve
