    Hi Gareth, Thanks for this, it's just helped me to do exactly what I wanted to do in an RCP application - have it open with a welcome page with some static content and an iframe for the latest news etc.. However, when I export the application to create a download, the welcome page comes up but with all the images missing. Obviously they aren't part of index.html. Have you come across this? And, if so, do you know how to solve it? Any pointers you can offer me would be gratefully received as I don't have much time to get this done!

    No need to reply as I seem to have found it. Thought I'd post it here in case anybody else is wondering the same thing.

    The key was in the following post:
    http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.p...

    This meant I had to read in the initial HTML file and replace a marker with the actual base url within the plugin (which I had retrieved using the method above) and all went swimmingly! Thanks for posting this and giving me a clue in the first place!

    Oops. Spoke too soon. Worked when run inside Eclipse. Didn't once exported (even though the base URL looks right). Still looking for clues. Anybody?

    Hopefully my last comment on the matter.

    I was close but one extra step was needed. The feature that held my HTML needed to be unpacked (tick the box in feature.xml to say it should be unpacked when installed) - then the base tag worked.

    Hi Chris, looks like you answered yourself several times before I got the chance :)

    Will be useful info for anyone else that has the same issue (and me if I need to do it) so thanks for posting up the answer.
