Eclipse rcp : How can the welcome page appear full screen everytime?

Question

I want to fixed the workbench and appear the weclome page everytime full screen.

But when I call the method layout.setfixed(true) in the Class Perspective the welcom page can't be full screen.

Answer 1

To open in full screen, following code in postWindowOpen() method of WorkbenchWindowAdvisor class can be used

getWindowConfigurer().getWindow().getShell().setMaximized( true );

Answer 2

You could do this in the preWindowOpen-method of the WorkbenchWindowAdvisor:

 public class ApplicationWorkbenchWindowAdvisor extends WorkbenchWindowAdvisor {
     ...
     public void preWindowOpen() {
        ...
        PlatformUI.getPreferenceStore()
              .setValue(IWorkbenchPreferenceConstants.SHOW_INTRO, true);
     }

This will show the welcome page everytime in full screen size when the application is started.
