Hi,
Can I add root pages to the Universal welcome page(i.e the welcome page
consisting of overview,tutorial,migrate,webresources... etc). What I need
to do is add a category for my product along with these categories in the
welcome page, i.e a new category that would come in the main welcome
page(say xyz category) side by side the existing categories.
Is the list of root pages that can come in the main welcome unextensible?
Thanks,
Mahim

Yes, it is possible to add additional pages to universal intro but you
will have to do quite a bit of work if you want them to look just like
the rest of the pages. In any case here's the first step to doing this:
Use the new plug-in wizard to create a plug-in with universal intro
content by selecting "Custom plug-in wizard" on the template page, then
selecting the Universal Welcome Contribution template. Replace the
contents of sample.xml with the following and you will see a link added
to the overview page which will take you to the new page. This is using
Eclipse 3.4, Eclipse 3.3 did not always pick up page extensions
correctly so it may or may not work using Eclipse 3.3. You can also use
the new plugin customization property to INTRO_START_PAGE to make your
new page be the first page a user sees when they start Eclipse, see
