-------------------------------------

Nick,

The view would be similar to(or the same as) the base eclipse Welcome view and would accept contributions from 3rd party plugins.

> When third party plugins contribute a welcome screen they are currently not shown.
> I think it would have value that we provide a way to have users get access to this content similar to what Eclipse EPP packages does.
> Is it possible to simply add a "More Welcome content..." button in case of more welcome screens being available and switch to a page that has a grid layout of the contributed welcome screen elements ?
> Or maybe add a scrollable panel at the bottom of the welcome screen showing the contribute elements "sliding by ?"
