Outdated information #1180

Submitted 7 months ago

The Splash section states that "Currently Eclipse supports only Bitmap (.bmp) files."

I believe current versions of Eclipse now support, at least, .png files.

I think the general support was implemented in https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=114567 Unfortunately Nikita did only add a very small N&N https://git.eclipse.org/c/www.eclipse.org/eclipse/news.git/commit/?id=0a3531618c7b14daaada9439a24a0a7bbc036a3e

I incorrectly assume that the product editor still only supports "splash.bmp". But after checking the code, I found https://git.eclipse.org/c/equinox/rt.equinox.framework.git/commit/?id=77d581a19fa8f51448063d43bf3c0548f6dc3160

So I will update the description

Updated the description:

Launcher splash screen image can be in any of the following formats: PNG, JPG, GIF and BMP. Transparency and animation are not supported.

The name is predefined as splash.EXTENSION and it must be located in the root of the plug-in directory. Therefore, you need to put one of the following files into the project main directory:

  • splash.png

  • splash.jpg

  • splash.jpeg

  • splash.gif

  • splash.bmp

Will be available on the website in ~30 min.

Thanks for the report
