Package org.eclipse.ui.intro.config
Interface IIntroURL
public interface IIntroURL
An Intro url. An intro URL is a valid http url, with org.eclipse.ui.intro as
a host name. It is intended to only be used in conjunction with the
pre-supplied CustomizableIntroPart. See the
org.eclipse.ui.intro.config
extension point for more details.
An intro url instance is created by parsing the url and retrieving the embedded "command" and parametrs. For example, the following urls are valid intro urls:
http://org.eclipse.ui.intro/close http://org.eclipse.ui.intro/runAction?pluginId=x.y.z&class=x.y.z.someClass
When parsed, the first url has "close" as a command, and no parameters. While the second "runAction" as a command and "pluginId" and "class" as parameters.
There is a number of supported Intro commands. Check docs for more details. Calling execute runs the command if it is one of the supported commands.
