Eclipse RCP Splash Screen

Tags:

eclipse-rcp

I'm involved in a project that is attempting to use the Eclipse RCP splash screen to gather user credentials, language, etc. If this screen loses focus, it is not available (under Windows at least) through the ALt-Tab functionality, and can only be found by minimizing all other windows and uncovering it. Any way of having this screen allow itself to be activated in this way? They're avoiding creating an intermediate screen, for reasons unknown at this point.

How do I export a RCP product from Eclipse?

Use the Product export wizard (link from the product editor, or under File > Export) to build, package, and deploy your product. Launch the exe created by the product export (or run plain eclipse.exe with the -product argument to refer to your product).

What is Microsoft splash screen?

Your splash screen is displayed immediately when the user launches your app. This provides immediate feedback to users while app resources are initialized. As soon as your app is ready for interaction, the splash screen is dismissed.

I think it might be time to examine those unknown reasons. Even eclipse doesn't use the splash screen in this way. If it needs to prompt for information, it opens a new dialog to ask for it.

Good luck.

[Edit] I stand corrected. This thread seems to have a solution to this. Good luck, I'm no SWT/RCP guru.
