Christophe Verré wrote:Strange. I don't know why it's not there in your Galileo installation. I also have Galileo installed on my machine, the "Eclipse IDE for Java Developers" distribution. It's there. Can you check the following :
Go to Window->Customize Perspective->Menu Visibility->Help. Is the Welcome check box ticked ?

I almost laughed Before looking for any XML file, it might be that the necessary plugin is not installed.
Go to Help->About Eclipse->Installation Details->Plug-ins. In Plug-In Name, search for "Welcome Framework" (Plug-in Id is org.eclipse.ui.intro)

If nothing works, maybe a fresh install would solve your problem.

Thanks Christophe,
Actually, I have four installs of Eclipse 3.5.2. Some have the Welcome menu item in the Help Menu; some don't. I considered doing a fresh install, and that is probably what I will eventually do. But I believe that the Welcome item was once in the Help Menu on this install. I just thought I would try to better understand what caused this problem.
Thanks for your help Christophe!

The Intro (Welcome view) is not shown on the start of a fresh workspace. We will need to address the intro management differently in 4.0 than in 3.6. Since this release is targetted at current eclipse developers the expectation is that not having this functionality won't be a major issue.

I tried to download 3.5.2 yesterday, from the same location as yours. The Welcome menu is there. I tried the latest Eclipse SDK 4.0, and the menu is not there, but for a different reason. It's a known issue:

But for 3.5.2, I have no clue. Check Eclipse logs in case some kind of errors were printed there.
