I have a document type which has multiple presentations. Say I want to display the document in an RCP editor with a customizable subset of those presentations, in a layout chosen by the user.

One option that has come up is docking-like behavior for the panels inside an individual editor, with drag-and-drop, resizing, closing, maybe rollover and floating.

Clearly this would need usability testing, but my question here is of feasibility.

Are there any existing libraries or e4 plans to support behavior like this?

Show Eclipse RCP's welcome page at every startup

Is there a way to force an RCP product to show a welcome page every time it the RCP was stared? (By default, the Welcome page is only shown for the first time the RCP is stared.) I tried org.eclipse.ui/SHOW_INTRO=true in plugin_customization.ini, but it did not do the trick... Thanks, Frank >>> More
