Hi Thilina, I like the idea to keep the welcome module.
In some of my platform apps I have used an adapted version this code too. >It is a pity that Welcome module is not well configurable so it needs to be >>doubled and patched and it has some unwanted dependencies. E.g. it has a >dependency to Project GUI and its api. Some years ago Jaruslav recomment me to separate the module into two: welcome.core welcome.projects. It will be great if we cauld split the project GUI dependency by splitting into two modules. The next week I am very busy but the week after maybe I can take some time. best regards Oliver > Hi All, > > I’m planning to work on “Start Page” - welcome module > > As it makes the welcome impression of Apache NetBeans IDE, I hope it would > be better we discuss here to make it more useful. > > Please take following points into your consideration and provide your > feedback. > > 1.Top Bar > > a.
