Hi all,

Is there a way to get the progress and splash screens to work with a
webstart deployed RCP app?

Thanks!

The splash screen as it is done today is not possible.
Moreover JWS has its own way to do splash screens.

As for the 3.1 style progress you can copy the code from eclipse 3.1
into your app. I think it leaves in or around the IDEAdvisor (or
something like that)

Pascal ~ thanks for the help, it did get me going in the right
direction, though I ended up with a hack for a temporary fix... :(

looks like my preference for "SHOW_PROGRESS_ON_STARTUP" wasn't making it
into my webstart deployment for some reason - I set it as a property in
the products extension point...

I forced it to true by placing:
PlatformUI.getPreferenceStore().setValue(IWorkbenchPreferenc eConstants.SHOW_PROGRESS_ON_STARTUP,
true);
in the Application class, and the progress bar starts up as expected.

now... what's the _proper_ to set default preferences for an RCP
Application? :)

Using programmatic API is a proper way to set a preference.

I don't know why the preferenceCustomization property of the product
extension point does not work, but I am not familiar with Webstart at all.
