Class IntroConfigurer

java.lang.Object
org.eclipse.ui.intro.config.IntroConfigurer
public abstract class IntroConfigurer extends Object
Classes that extend this abstract class are used to configure CustomizableIntroPart. Since it is possible for multiple products to use the same intro configuration, this class allows them to customize some aspects of the intro content so that it looks different for different products even though they all share the same intro implementation and content.
