Within eclipse my welcome view works perfectly. It comes up only the first
time.

As soon as I export the product, then it always comes up. Interestingly,
save and restore is working for the rest of the workbench.

Does anyone have any ideas what could be wrong?

This is my intro definition:

<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.intro">
<introProductBinding
introId="org.eclipse.platform.intro"
productId="bigblogzoo.product">
</introProductBinding>
</extension>

I don't think this is directly related but I am getting another error when
I say "Go To Workbench" (If you kill the welcome window with the x it
doesn't seem to trigger this error):

In a trawl I found that someone else had this error but there doesn't seem

I'm getting exactly the same annoying effect!!

I asked few days ago for a solution but nobody answer :-(

Today, I have been investigating something more about this strange behaviour.

I built the sample eclipse RCP application that comes with Eclipse wizards, and added the default eclipse intro (org.eclipse.platform) to the application. Then I exported the application and built it.

I executed the application several times and the intro always appear!!

It seems a bug. We should try with eclipse intro 3.0.0 package.

It also fails with org.eclipse.ui.intro_3.0.2 and with org.eclipse.platform_3.0.2

Anyone could help?

I can send a simple sample project, and maybe someone could help us to understand why the eclipse intro page always appear.

Try launching the exported product with the '-data workspace'
command-line arguments.
