not RTL
Comment 2 Karice McIntyre CLA 2005-08-02 11:56:03 EDT 
Moving to Intro component for comment, as they will need to change code to 
support this.  

Note 1: I don't see a flipped icon in the bidi nl fragment of the intro plugin 
for the arrow image on the welcome page.

Note 2: When running Eclipse in English, run with program argument -dir rtl to 
see right to left orientation.
Comment 3 Janek Lasocki-Biczysko CLA 2005-08-05 12:46:53 EDT 
The arrow icon on the welcome page is contributed by org.eclipse.platform.

org.eclipse.platform.nlBIDI contributes a colour (rollover) version of a flipped
icon but the idle icon is not flipped.

Mathew,
this is a duplicate defect to bug 90221.
Simply starting Eclipse with -rtl is not sufficient to see the content of Intro 
flipped to rtl orientation. You need to have the proper intro NL fragments that 
will flip the intro content. 
The required nl fragments have been attached to the above defect and they have 
been sent to Cam-Thu Le in response to that defect. 

Do you know if you have the correct NL fragments?
Cam-Thu, has the fragments in the above defect been integrated intro the builds?
Comment 5 Mazen Faraj CLA 2005-08-09 13:35:43 EDT 
to explain more:
simple using -rtl flipps the platform UI, meaning all views (including intro) 
become rtl. BUT, intro has HTML content, and this content is separate from 
presentation. CSS files are used to layout the HTML content in intro, and so it 
is these CSS files that need to be changed to be able to get rtl html. This is 
done by overriding them in NL fragments.
Comment 6 Matthew T. Veety CLA 2005-08-09 14:06:25 EDT 
I see... I didn't think that it was the same problem because that but was 
originally created just for the arrow icons.  We will add it to our NL fragment 
and see if it resolves the problem.
Comment 7 Mazen Faraj CLA 2005-08-11 16:12:17 EDT 
feedback please :-)  as this defect is opened as major.
please let me know where I can download latest translation packs and see if 
things are fine.
Comment 8 Matthew T. Veety CLA 2005-08-12 13:14:37 EDT
