Welcome menu in Eclipse product

Question

I have a product definition that depends on my feature. In my feature I have dependency on org.eclipse.ui.intro. However, when I launch product I don't see Welcome item in Help menu. What can cause welcome menu not to load?

thanks!

Answer 1

The dependency alone is not enough.

Did you follow all the steps required to define an intro?
See Defining a minimal intro configuration, which echoes back that old message:

You need to register a Intro (aka Welcome) with a product for you to be able to see it.
You need to run as a product.
When self hosting, you have to select "run a product" in the launch configuration and make sure you see and select your product from the combo.

So did you define a product binding for your intro (see eorg.eclipse.ui.intro)?

Answer 2

Also, if your Welcome page is based on the intro.universal, you will have to add org.eclipse.ui.intro.universal to your product dependencies.
