Description John Arthorne CLA 2011-08-17 14:52:34 EDT
We need an updated splash screen for Juno. I'm not sure if we derive this from the 3.x or 4.x splash screen as a starting point. While I think the 3.x splash looks nicer, it would be great to have a visual difference for the 4.x platform. Another possibility is to make it related to the new icons in bug 341645.

Comment 3 Michael Pellaton CLA 2011-10-30 01:57:47 EDT
This issue seems to be mainly about 4.2, but in 3.8 the splash screen still says 'INDIGO'. Will this be fixed as part of this issue or shall I open a specific bug for 3.8?
Comment 4 John Arthorne CLA 2011-10-31 09:31:56 EDT
I think this bug can cover both streams.
Comment 5 Susan McCourt CLA 2011-11-03 15:13:52 EDT
We'll do the mechanical (JUNO, 2011, 2012) updates on both streams in the short term.  We can use this bug to track those updates.

We can track any "freshening up" and new icon work (after M4) in bug 341645.

Comment 10 Susan McCourt CLA 2011-11-23 11:57:31 EST
I've attached the updated splashes for both 2011 and 2012.
Per discussion with John:  since the 4.2 release is the release train platform, we have reverted to using a release number (3.8) on the 3.x splash stream.  The 4.x splash now uses the release train name, JUNO.

These need to be released and verified.  Whenever the release number/name change, we have to make sure the build id is positioned correctly as well.

splash.bmp gets released to org.eclipse.platform
build id location is defined in org.eclipse.sdk (I don't remember exactly where at the moment but there is a property for it)
Comment 11 Susan McCourt CLA 2011-11-23 12:04:39 EST
Talked to Eric.  He will make sure these get in.
Comment 12 Eric Moffatt CLA 2011-11-25 13:05:38 EST
Unfortunately I can't (no commit rights on platform) so I'm (appropriately for thanksgiving) punting this to Paul...;-).

I've committed both of these to their respective streams.  The build ID doesn't obscure anything in the new splash screens.

OK, I've committed this to git as it has migrated :-)  I'll have to move our 4.2 build to pick up these bundles from git today.

Ironically, not yet ... in Jan I'll update the screens with (c) 2012, and we might even have new graphics.

Comment 17 Paul Webster CLA 2012-01-11 09:27:44 EST
I've released the (c) 2012 graphics.  Now we're just waiting on splash screens to be available for use.

the designers have just finished their "final polish round" and I expect to have something in about a week.  Will that work?  This will be the splash with icons still to follow.

Is this defect still alive or can it be closed ?

BTW, feedback from EclipseCon was universally positive about the new splash, nice work !!

We can close this one since the mechanical updates were done for 2011 and 2012.  We are tracking the new graphics in bug 341645.
