How to have about dialog in e4 with eclipse neon?

I am wondering is there any way I can have an about dialog like it was in eclipse 3.x.I remember it was not supported in e4 but with release of neon whether about dialog is migrated to e4.Any help on this will be appreciated..

Solution

  • There is no change in the status of the About dialog in e4 for Eclipse Neon.

    You can code a simple about dialog yourself which should be invoked from a handler for the org.eclipse.ui.help.aboutAction command (required to make About work properly on macOS).

    It is not likely that support for things like the Installation Details will ever be added to core e4. Not least because this requires the p2 install code which is optional for an e4 RCP.
