I recently installed MyEclipse 7.5 (manual installation). With every start MyEclipse will open the “MyEclipse Start Page”, which is – sorry about that – not really interesting to me.

How can I disable this “feature”?

Michael,

I am afraid, we do not have any option under preference in ME 7.5 to turn-off MyEclipse Start Page. We are planning to address this in upcoming ME 8.0. In the interim, you can try this workaround –
To turn off the start page all together, drilled down into the com.genuitec.myeclipse.enterprise.workbench plugin in the <Genuitec Install Dir>\Common directory, open the plugin_customization.ini file, and add a new property to it:

com.genuitec.eclipse.intro/STARTPAGE_ONSTARTUP=false

Joy,

I found three files named “plugin_customization.ini”, placed in
– C:\Programme\MyEclipse 7.5\plugins\com.genuitec.myeclipse.product7_7.5.0.zmyeclipse75020090612
– C:\Programme\MyEclipse 7.5\plugins\org.eclipse.platform_3.3.101.v200902111700
– C:\Programme\MyEclipse 7.5\plugins\org.eclipse.sdk_3.4.2.v200902111700

Which is the right one?

Maybe, as I installed “the manual way”, the plugin_customization.ini to modify is hidden in the MyEclipse_7.5_ArchivedUpdateSite.zip archive?

Michael,

I am not sure which one is the correct .ini file, I don’t have visibility of your settings. The best I can recommend you is to try to right click on your MyEclipse icon and go to properties. This should give you your MyEclipse installation dir, next go to the common folder and locate the plugin_customization.ini.
In case you don’t find the relevant ini file, can you try setting up this flag one by one on all of the above mentioned .ini file?

Michael,

Can you try looking for ~\Genuitec\Common\plugins\org.eclipse.sdk_3.4.2.v200902111700\plugin_customization.ini

Joy,

there is no file named ~\Genuitec\Common\plugins\org.eclipse.sdk_3.4.2.v200902111700\plugin_customization.ini, but I found ~\plugins\org.eclipse.sdk_3.4.2.v200902111700\plugin_customization.ini, which seems to be the right one. Btw: this file is one of those, I was pointing at.

Inserting “com.genuitec.eclipse.intro/STARTPAGE_ONSTARTUP=false” does not suppress the “MyEclipse Start Page”.

Trying the other ones… Gotcha!
Inserting a new entry
com.genuitec.eclipse.intro/STARTPAGE_ONSTARTUP=false
into file
[MyEclipse-7.5-Install-Dir]\plugins\com.genuitec.myeclipse.product7_7.5.0.zmyeclipse75020090612\plugin_customization.ini
will suppress the MyEclipse Start Page.

topic to be closed…
