I have an Eclipse workbench application composed of many plugins. I’d like to set the about text of the app to reflect the build number.

There seems to be a couple of places to do this: – Inside the application’s .product file (setting text here doesn’t seem to do anything?) – Inside the plugin.xml file of the main plugin (this does seem to work).

I have two questions:

  1. What is the best way to achieve this? via plugin.xml?
  2. Why is the text I set in the product file ignored?

  1. It (text and picture of an about dialog) should be in the about.ini of a feature or product plugin.

    Note: for the picture, this blog entry ‘How Can I Give My Eclipse Blob An Icon In The Flippin’ About Dialog?‘ is quite nice.

    Notebis: with the latest 3.5Mx releases, the about box is even more configurable.
