Description Jim des Rivieres CLA 2002-05-16 16:10:10 EDT 
Notes from a discussion with Kevin H before lunch:

The workbench should have a Help -> "Getting Started" menu item that opens a 
dialog of some sort; the dialog presents a list of all features with a welcome 
page ("welcomePage" property in feature's plug-in's about.ini file) and 
affords the user some way to make a single selection. The selected feature's 
welcome page is then presented in the editor.

The new property (in a feature's plug-in's about.ini file) will be 
called "welcomePerspective". The value is the id of the perspective that this 
feature would like its welcome page to open up in.  This property is optional; 
if not specified, the feature isn't picky.
