Eclipse: How to disable welcome screen?
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.
- Open Eclipse
- Uncheck the box in the bottom right hand corner (Show every time)
- Close the welcome screen
