| <p class="style1">Product Splash</p> |
| |
| <p>The <strong>Splash</strong> page provides the ability to customize your product with |
| a splash screen and a template or a progress bar and message. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> </p> |
| |
| <p class="style2">Location</p> |
| <p>The <strong>splash screen</strong> is typically located at the root of the |
| product-defining plug-in and must be called <em><strong>splash.bmp</strong></em>. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p><img src="../../../images/product_editor/splash_location.png" alt="Splash screen location" hspace="30"></p> |
| |
| <p>Alternately, you may choose to place it at the root of any other plug-in in the |
| product (the name restriction stands). |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> </p> |
| |
| <p class="style2">Customization</p> |
| |
| <p>To customize the startup of a product, you can use either a splash screen |
| template or a progress bar and message. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p><img src="../../../images/product_editor/splash_custom.png" alt="Splash screen location" hspace="30"></p> |
| |
| <p>Splash screen templates contribute custom behavior to the splash screen that |
| appears during startup. The <strong>Template</strong> combo contains three templates |
| available for your convenience. During the export process the selected template's |
| required code will be added and a <em>org.eclipse.ui.splashHandlers</em> extension |
| will be created. Please be aware that you may only use a splash screen |
| template if your platform is built with 3.3 or higher. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p>Another option to customize your product is to use the integrated progress bar |
| in the Eclipse splash screen by specifying the co-ordinates of the |
| <strong>progress bar</strong> and <strong>progress message</strong>, |
| as well as the text color. The integrated progress data is specified using properties |
| in the <em>org.eclipse.core.runtime.products</em> extension. |
