Hide the Getting started page

If you don't want to show the Gettting Started page for new client installations you may set the following property using plugin_customization.ini or using policies: 

com.ibm.rcp.jfaceex/overrideAutoStart=
     com.ibm.rcp.gettingstarted.GettingstartPerspective

Great tip. Thanks.  How do you set the plugin_customization.ini in policies?

Using plugin_customization.ini is just a shorthand for setting plugin preferences which may also be done using a Desktop Settings documents and the Managed Settings in there.

Thanks Mikkel, I found this helpful as well and wasn't able to find anything on it anywhere else.

Hi Mikkel,
just found your tip on hiding the getting started page. But in the german 8.5.2 client inserting the property results in crashing the first start of the client.
We are preparing the client update 7.0.x to 8.5.2, and both new clients or updated clients show this (in my opinion) useless getting started page.
Are there any additional tips?

Thanks,
Jens

Hmmm nope... :-( I just found the setting for a customer but never heard about any problems with it.

I just can't get this to work. Is the full syntax this:


com.ibm.rcp.jfaceex/overrideAutoStart=com.ibm.rcp.gettingstarted.GettingstartPerspective



I've tried both in the plugin_custmization file as well as with managed settings, but no dice
