Welcome Editor
Purpose: To test the Welcome editor in Eclipse. We will start the
workbench after a fresh install, verify the visibility of the Welcome editor,
and then test the format and links.
Setup:
-
Install Eclipse Platform.
-
Delete the metadata for org.eclipse.ui. This will simulate a fresh
install.
Method:
-
Start the workbench. Confirm that the default perspective (Resource)
and Welcome editor both appear.
-
Close the editor and exit the workbench.
-
Restart the workbench and verify that the Welcome editor does not appear.
The editor only appears automatically after a fresh install.
-
Invoke Help > Welcome and verify that the Welcome editor opens.
-
The Welcome editor contains a number of links. Test each of these links
to ensure that the link invokes an appropriate action.
