Link to URL from Universal Welcome [message #474316] Fri, 05 September 2008 01:19 Go to next message

I'm using the universal welcome page framework. From the home page, I'd like
the Web Resources button to jump to a particular URL directly, rather than
going to a seperate page first. Is this possible or should do I have to
create a custom intro?

Thanks!

If you are using Eclipse 3.4 one suggestion is to use the new
customization properties

org.eclipse.ui.intro/INTRO_START_PAGE - the id of the page which will be
shown when Eclipse starts the first time.
org.eclipse.ui.intro/INTRO_HOME_PAGE - the id of the page which will be
shown when the home button is pressed.
org.eclipse.ui.intro/INTRO_STANDBY_PAGE - the id of the page which will
be shown when welcome is displayed in a non-maximized form.

which allow you to change the root or standby page but keep the rest of
the universal intro pages. This allows you to create your own first page
without having to create an entire new theme. In Eclipse 3.4 it is easy
to contribute pages. See
