Re: [platform-ui-dev] Lost Welcome... menu

["Randy Giffen" <Randy_Giffen@xxxxxxx>]

The following worked for me with 20020624

1) Started dev with:
eclipse.exe -vm c:\jdk1.3.1\bin\java.exe 

2) Imported all plugins and fragments except org.eclipse.ui and org.eclipse.platform.doc.user

3) Loaded org.eclipse.ui and org.eclipse.platform.doc.user from HEAD

4) Launch new run-time workspace accepting all defaults except Program Arguments:
-os win32 -ws win32 -arch x86 -update
 
5) The following message appears in the console
Run-time workbench launcher detected a restart request. Please re-launch.

6) Launched again and the target desktop had  
        a) a Help >  Welcome... menu item (opens dialog with jdt, platform, pde pages listed)
        b) Help> About Eclipse Platform > Feature Details had expected 8 entries

If the install/update component is not reporting any installed features (as confirmed by checking Help> About Eclipse Platform > Feature Details) then no welcome pages are available since they are obtained from the features. Use of the -update option was a tip I received from them because I encountered the same problem you are having.

This does not work for me:
1. I start my dev workspace with "-update" (it's ok in there).
2. Now I start a fresh target with "-update" from my dev workspace with the
Run-time Workbench launch configuration
==> workbench starts up - the question you describe below is not asked.
==> I only get "Help Contents" and "About..." menus but not the "Welcome"
menu.

As said before this used to work with the code I had in my dev workspace
last Friday. Now I'm using 20020621

When you run your target, specify -update as a program argument, you will
be asked to restart the first time you run.
If you have already run the target, you will also need to delete your
/.metadata/.config directory.

These steps are need in order for your target to obtain the correct list of
installed features. This will affect the About dialog as well as Welcome.

There is an Update PR regarding this issue but I  can't find it at the
moment.

With last weeks self-hosting workspace I was able to get the
Help->Welcome... menu. The drop 20020621 is fine but when self-hosting on
it and starting Eclipse from there I don't get the Help->Welcome... menu
anymore. It seems that some feature(s) or feature configuration changed.
What do I have to add to my workspace to make this work again? We currently
edit our doc and it would be nice to test it directly instead of being
forced to export it all the times.
