| <h2>Configuring product defaults</h2> |
| |
| <p> |
| In addition to providing intro customization to the end users for the first |
| time, Welcome preference page will allow product authors to create the |
| introData.xml file to be used for the first startup. The procedure is simple: |
| </p> |
| |
| <ol> |
| <li>Launch the product for the first time</li> |
| <li>Open the Welcome preference page (a quick way to do this is from the |
| local tool bar of the Welcome view where a new tool bar button opens the |
| Preferences into the right page)</li> |
| <li>For each page, manipulate the available extensions by moving them |
| between the four page quadrants (upper-left, upper-right, lower-left, |
| lower-right) and the Available list, or moving extensions up or down within |
| the same list (relative order). Use drag and drop to get the desired |
| results.</li> |
| <li>If needed, add the separator between the extension within the quadrant.</li> |
| <li>All extensions have the default importance setting of 'Low'. To change |
| it, click on the extension image to get the drop-down list to open and pick |
| a different setting from the list (e.g. High, Medium or Callout).</li> |
| <li>Press OK to see the preferences applied to Welcome.</li> |
| <li>If satisfied, open the preference page again and press 'Save As...' |
| button.</li> |
| <li>Store the file as 'introData.xml' in the product plug-in.</li> |
| <li>Set <b>org.eclipse.ui.intro.universal/INTRO_DATA</b> preference to the |
| value 'product:introData.xml'.</li> |
| <li>Start the product on a fresh workspace to test if the data from the file |
| has been picked up.</li> |
| </ol> |
| |
| <p> |
| List 'Available Extensions' holds all the extensions that are currently |
| hidden. They can be moved to one of the four quadrants of each page. |
