The gtk specific code of Equinox handles the splash screen and workspace file chooser.
location
./features/org.eclipse.equinox.executable.feature/library/gtk
building Eclipse executable
inside the gtk folder, run:
sh build.sh
To start a build. It will produce an executable 'eclipse'.
When you first launch make, it may complain about missing java:
../eclipseJNI.h:15:17: fatal error: jni.h: No such file or directory
In this case, you need to specify your java path. Usually this can be done via:
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java/ sh build.sh #then run your bulid.
