Description Mazen Faraj

(Trying to work around bug 63568, I tried adding an IPartListener to listen to 
IntroPart life cycle events, only to find out that standbyStateChanged is 
called before the close event. Which meant that I can't listen to events, set 
flags, and then handle standbyStateChanged.)

Issues discovered while using a IPartListener:
* You cant listen to IIntroPart events because the part returned is internal 
ViewIntroAdapterPart. 
*  When opening or closing an IIntroPart, many partDeactivated events are 
fired when Intro view is coming up or closing? Can you please check? could I 
be doing something wrong? I simply added a basic listener to the workbench 
window:

PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getPartService()
            .addPartListener(new CustomizableIntroPartListener());

where CustomizableIntroPartListener() simply prints out info.

oops!  I opened it against myself ! :-)

looking into this a bit more, the TaskView takes an activated/deactivated 
cycle on start up and shutdown. Meaning, when you open Intro, you get intro 
activated, deactivated, Task view activated, deactivated, then Intro view 
activated again. 
Does this make sense? is this what the apis are expected to do?

Probably not, but likely the case for 3.1...

is this related? I used to (in an RCP app on 3.0.2) have a property listener 
listening in to the zoom property. Unfortunately, 3.1 took away 
addPropertyChangeListener from PartPane, and seems to be disallowing my use of 
the internal PartPane and friends...

What's a good way then to achieve the following?
 Detect when the user closes/standby-s the welcome page, in order to launch a 
new wizard? (this is to avoid the user staring at a blank perspective...)

Your best bet at this point would be to listen to part close events and after each one check to see if the 
intro is available via the standard Intro API.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
