[platform-ui-dev] Eclipse 2.0 startup processing (Eclipse F3)

["Ramaswamy, Vishy" <vramaswa@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
I have been working with the Eclipse F3 drop and wanted to confirm the
behaviour of the -feature command line option.

*	I installed the F3 drop and noticed that the org.eclipse.platform
was the default primary feature. The install.ini file was was also
indicating the same.
*	Then I added my feature and made it a primary feature as well in the
feature.xml file.
*	Then I created a launcher executable with the -feature command line
option pointing to my feature.
*	I noticed that the only product customization I was able to achieve
was the splash screen. The shell was not picking up my customized Window
icon (about.ini), welcome page (about.ini), the default perspective
(plugin_customization.ini) etc..
*	When I changed the install.ini file to use my feature as the default
primary feature then all my customizations were handled.


Is this the expected behaviour?

If so, it means that multiple personalized launch points sharing the same
install cannot fully customize the shell (or am i missing something).
