[news.eclipse.platform.ua] Re: Force Welcome page for product to open do

[Ben Vitale <bvitale3002@xxxxxxxxx>]

Are you plugging into the IDE or writing an RCP app?

There is a preference to control if the intro opens at all, but I don't 
see one to control if it opens in standby mode (what you are calling 
docked).

Perhaps you set IWorkbenchPreferenceConstants.SHOW_INTRO to false and 
then open it yourself specifying "true" for the second parameter to 
IIntroManager.showIntro. There is an IStartup hook you could use.

The above seems a bit hacky so maybe someone else will weigh in with 
better advice.

Cheers
Ben
