Description Phil Beauvoir CLA 2012-07-15 17:07:39 EDT 
Eclipse 4.2

In my RCP app's WorkbenchAdvisor#initialize(IWorkbenchConfigurer) method I add:

PlatformUI.getPreferenceStore().setValue(IWorkbenchPreferenceConstants.SHOW_PROGRESS_ON_STARTUP, false);

In Eclipse 3.7.x this stops the progress bar showing in the splash screen on startup.

On 4.2 this does nothing, the progress bar is shown in the splash screen on startup.

Also, the following entry in plugin_customization.ini does not work:

org.eclipse.ui/SHOW_PROGRESS_ON_STARTUP = false
Comment 2 Phil Beauvoir CLA 2013-04-11 08:51:22 EDT 
A workaround is to add the following to the org.eclipse.core.runtime.products extension point in plugin.xml:

<property name="startupMessageRect" value="0,0,0,0"/>
<property name="startupProgressRect" value="0,0,0,0"/>

The WorkbenchAdvisor.initialize method is not the proper place for setting the 'SHOW_PROGRESS_ON_STARTUP' property value since it is after the place where it is checked. It should be rather done in the implementation of the IApplication.start method
