| * An Intro url. An intro URL is a valid http url, with org.eclipse.ui.intro as |
| * a host name. It is intended to only be used in conjunction with the |
| * pre-supplied CustomizableIntroPart. See the |
| * <code>org.eclipse.ui.intro.config</code> extension point for more details. |
| * <p> |
| * An intro url instance is created by parsing the url and retrieving the |
| * embedded "command" and parametrs. For example, the following urls are valid |
| * intro urls: |
| * </p> |
| * <pre> |
| * http://org.eclipse.ui.intro/close |
| * http://org.eclipse.ui.intro/runAction?pluginId=x.y.z&class=x.y.z.someClass |
| * </pre> |
| * <p> |
| * When parsed, the first url has "close" as a command, and no parameters. While |
| * the second "runAction" as a command and "pluginId" and "class" as parameters. |
| * </p> |
| * <p> |
| * There is a number of supported Intro commands. Check docs for more details. |
| * Calling execute runs the command if it is one of the supported commands. |
| * </p> |
