Create Welcome Support - Githubissues

cxbrooks commented 7 years ago

In Bug #166, a user did not find a Triquetrum view or Wizard because they are not yet present.

Maybe we should have a Welcome tab that states that we don't have a view or wizard? See http://help.eclipse.org/mars/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.platform.doc.isv%2Fguide%2Fua_intro.htm

Great start!

The bioclipse info page also mentions how to add cheat sheet links.

Maybe something to think about as well, preparing a couple of cheat sheets for getting started.

I'm closing this, it worked for me when I built a Mac Triquetrum using "mvn clean verify". The Hudson build is having problems that are outside of Triquetrum now, so I believe this works.

The Welcome Window is not visible.

Erwin wrote that he had not seen the welcome window before the folder restructuring.

cxbrooks commented 7 years ago

Actually, the welcome window changes do seem to be present.

When I start up Triquetrum and click on Help -> Welcome, I get the default Welcome window:

However, if I click on Overview, I get the Triquetrum-specific pages:

"What is Triquetrum?" and "The Triquetrum license" comes from plugins/editor/org.eclipse.triquetrum.workflow.editor/intro/overview.xml, which is mentioned in plugins/editor/org.eclipse.triquetrum.workflow.editor/plugin.xml:

    <!-- See https://wiki.eclipse.org/Triquetrum/Releng/Welcome_Pages -->
    <extension point="org.eclipse.ui.intro.configExtension">
      <configExtension
            content="intro/overview.xml"
            configId="org.eclipse.ui.intro.universalConfig">
      </configExtension>
</extension>

Further enhancements would be to get something about Triquetrum on the root page.

It seems that adding to the Welcome root window is not possible. Changing the Welcome window at startup by adding org.eclipse.ui.intro/INTRO_START_PAGE by editing org.eclipse.triquetrum.workflow.editor/plugin_customization.ini also does not help.

See https://wiki.eclipse.org/Triquetrum/Releng/Welcome_Pages

It seems like this bug will not be closed in time for the Science 2017 Release.

cxbrooks commented 6 years ago

Erwin suggests that this could be because we don't have a specific application, instead we are a collection of bundles. Perhaps we should not launch it as an IDE application, instead launch it as something else.

Moving to a different Milestone.

cxbrooks commented 6 years ago

I'll verify that this works in the most recent release and then close it.
