| <h1>Welcome</h1> |
| <p>The welcome page is the first page you see when you first launch eclipse. Its purpose is to introduce you to the |
| product. Welcome content will vary from one Eclipse based product to another, it typically includes an overview of |
| the product and its features, tutorials to guide you through some basic tasks, samples to get you started, etc.</p> |
| <p>There are many possible forms of welcome, ranging from simple static text to elaborate extendable multi-page |
| presentations. The Eclipse platform and platform SDK uses a form known as <strong>Universal Welcome</strong>, which |
| defines a common page structure, allowing several products to share the welcome space. If your product is using the |
| Universal Welcome, you can <a href="../tasks/welcome.htm">customize</a> its appearance using the "customize page" |
| button. Products which use universal welcome will display a welcome page the first time they are restarted after new |
| features with welcome content are installed and highlight the new welcome content.</p> |
