I get an annoying welcome screen whenever I start eclipse. How can I get it to skip the welcome and go straight to the workbench when I start it?
For Eclipse Neon:
- Open Eclipse
- Uncheck the box in the bottom right hand corner (Show every time)
- Close the welcome screen
Edit: Still correct for Eclipse Oxygen, Photon and 2018-12
The welcome screen is displayed whenever you first open eclipse with a new workspace.
Once you close the welcome screen, this is noted in the workspace, and on a restart of eclipse with the same workspace, you will not see it again until you either use the menu Help/Welcome or switch to a new workspace.
Note that you may have to really close the Welcome screen via the 'x' in its title tab; not just hide or minimize it.
Follow the following steps for Eclipse Neon:
- Go to Eclipse_Home\plugins
- Take backup of the below jars and remove them from the above path
- org.eclipse.ui.intro.quicklinks_.jar
- org.eclipse.ui.intro.universal_.jar
- org.eclipse.ui.intro_.jar
- Step 3: Restart Eclipse
STEP 1: Go to the eclipse home folder -> Go to plugins folder.
STEP 2: Search for org.eclipse.ui.intro.universal and remove it from the folder.
STEP 3: Now try to startup your eclipse with the new workspace and you can see that the welcome screen will not show up anymore.
- Run Eclipse Neon as an Administrator.
- When Eclipse starts up with the welcome screen, uncheck the bottom right hand corner box.
- Close the welcome screen from upper part with the 'x'.
- Close Eclipse Neon
- Reopen Eclipse. You will not see the welcome screen anymore. Worked for me!
Another option is to create file in your workspace:
.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.ui.intro\introstate
and insert:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<state reopen="false"/>
1 ) Go to Help Menu
2 ) Click on "Welcome"
3 ) Uncheck the "Always show Welcome at start up" in "Welcome Page" Right bottom Corner
By creating the following file in your empty workspace:
workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settings/org.eclipse.ui.prefs
and fill it in with:
eclipse.preferences.version=1
showIntro=false
