I develop an Eclipse RCP application and I don't want to use the default menu and toolbar of my Eclipse.
Here is my plugin.xml file

<view

and that is what I get
I want to remove all unnecessery manu and toolbar.

I inherited a 12-year-old application and in trying to update it to the latest Eclipse, ran into this problem of default menu items showing up. After trying multiple solutions, including this one, I was left with the Run menu.
This brought me to this page. I used the solution by #ShahzadIftikhar above and tweaked it.
To be specific, we have a class that extends WorkbenchWindowAdvisor and that class contained a postWindowOpen method that only called super.postWindowOpen(). After that call, I added the below code to specifically block the inclusion of the "Run" menu. This menu contained the "Add V8/Chrome JavaScript Exception Breakpoint" and External Tools menu items that were definitely not needed and the client specifically said "get rid of them".
IWorkbenchWindow workbenchWindow = PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow();
IContributionItem[] items = ((WorkbenchWindow) workbenchWindow).getMenuBarManager().getItems();
for (IContributionItem item : items) {
if (item.getId().equals("org.eclipse.ui.run")) {
item.setVisible(false);
}
}
Once you get this block of code in your application, you should be able to just use the item ID for whatever you want to block.
For removing all defaults options in menu, You need to add this below code in ApplicationWorkbenchWindowAdvisor.java class.
#Override
public void postWindowOpen() {
IWorkbenchWindow workbenchWindow = PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow();
IContributionItem[] items = ((WorkbenchWindow)workbenchWindow).getMenuBarManager().getItems();
for (IContributionItem item : items) {
item.setVisible(false);
}
}
To get full control over the menus and tool bar your application can use its own ActionBarAdvisor derived class. When you do this you create all the items yourself.
The action bar advisor is created in WorkbenchWindowAdvisor class which in turn is created from your WorkbenchAdvisor class.
If you create a RCP plugin project using the 'RCP application with a view' example Eclipse will create examples of these classes for you.

How to put two views into one tab group in eclipse plugin project
looks like two Views are separate , I want to display them as tabs
Any hints will be more than welcome!
Below is an example of plugin.xml
<plugin>
<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.views">
<category
name="Category "
id="com.my.plugin">
</category>
<view
name="View One"
icon="icons/sample.gif"
category="com.my.plugin"
class="com.my.plugin.views.ViewOne"
id="com.my.plugin.views.ViewOne">
</view>
<view
name="Second View"
icon="icons/sample.gif"
category="com.my.plugin"
class="com.my.plugin.views.SecondView"
id="com.my.plugin.views.SecondView">
</view>
</extension>
</plugin>
My Plugin is by default display on middle bottom of Eclipse, how could I make it to display at right side of Eclipse?
My plugin.xml looks like below, any hints will be more than welcome!
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?eclipse version="3.4"?>
<plugin>
<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.views">
<category
name="My Plugin"
id="com.xx.plugin">
</category>
<view
name="XX my plugin View"
icon="icons/sample.gif"
category="com.xx.plugin"
class="com.xx.MyPluginView"
id="com.xx.MyPluginView">
</view>
</extension>
</plugin>
You use the view element of the org.eclipse.ui.perspectiveExtensions extension point for this. You have to do it for each perspective you want to customize.
Something like the following should show the view in the same stack as the outline view at the right in the Java Perspective.
<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.perspectiveExtensions">
<perspectiveExtension
targetID="org.eclipse.jdt.ui.JavaPerspective">
<view
relative="org.eclipse.ui.views.ContentOutline"
visible="true"
id="com.xx.MyPluginView"
relationship="stack">
</view>
Note: You may have to reset the perspective to get the extension picked up.
I have defined an Eclipse view like this:
<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.views">
<category
id="my.category"
name="My category">
</category>
<view
category="my.category"
class="com.my.View"
icon="icons/sample.gif"
id="my.View"
name="My View">
</view>
</extension>
The view is opened at the bottom of the workbench (next to the Console view) by default, how can I define that the view should be opened at the left side of the workbench? in the Project Explorer area.
Use the org.eclipse.ui.perspectiveExtensions extension point to define the layout of your view in a particular perspective.
The following example is how the JUnit view is positioned next to the Package Explorer view in the Java perspective:
<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.perspectiveExtensions">
<perspectiveExtension
targetID="org.eclipse.jdt.ui.JavaPerspective">
<view
relative="org.eclipse.jdt.ui.PackageExplorer"
visible="false"
id="org.eclipse.jdt.junit.ResultView"
relationship="stack">
</view>
I my RCP application there is a view with a TreeViewer inside. Using the Command framework, I’m trying to populate its toolbar with items that would perform common actions on the tree elements, such as “delete", “properties" etc.
I would like the icons to be enabled/disabled according to the TreeViewer’s selection state, but they should always be visible.
Here is what I came up with so far (I’m showing only the delete command, the others are very similar):
<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.handlers">
<handler commandId="org.eclipse.ui.edit.delete" class="my.custom.DeleteHandler">
<activeWhen>
<with variable="activePartId">
<equals value="my.custom.ViewPart" />
</with>
</activeWhen>
<enabledWhen>
<count value="(0-" />
</enabledWhen>
</handler>
</extension>
<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.menus">
<menuContribution locationURI="toolbar:my.custom.ViewPart">
<command commandId="org.eclipse.ui.edit.delete" label="Delete" />
</menuContribution>
</extension>
Everything works fine as long as the active part is my tree view. But when the focus goes, say, to an editor, the buttons get activated. I suppose this happens because my custom handlers are deactivated in favor of the default workbench handlers.
How can I keep the "delete", "properties" items visible but disabled, when the active part is not my view part?
Don't use <activeWhen> instead put all your conditions in the <enabledWhen>:
<enabledWhen>
<and>
<count value="(0-" />
<with variable="activePartId">
<equals value="my.custom.ViewPart" />
</with>
</and>
</enabledWhen>
I wanted to add one item in the popup when I right click all java file which is in the package explorer. I gave the object class as org.eclipse.core.resources.IFile and nameFilter is *.java. But it does not work for me.But If I give some other extensions as namefilter like *.abc, then it works for me. How do I add popupmenu items into java files?Wont eclipse support the popumenu item for adding into java files? And also I need to remove some of the existing popumenu items for the java files.How can I do that?
Please help me in this.
Thanks

Use commands, not actions. The code below should work.
<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.menus">
<menuContribution
locationURI="popup:org.eclipse.jdt.ui.PackageExplorer">
<command
commandId="my id"
label="my command label"
style="push">
<visibleWhen>
<with variable="activeMenuSelection">
<iterate
ifEmpty="false">
<adapt type="org.eclipse.core.resources.IResource">
<test property="org.eclipse.core.resources.name" value="*.java" />
</adapt>
</iterate>
</with>
</visibleWhen>
</command>
</menuContribution>
</extension>
However, if you must contribute an action, here's how to do it.
As for removing items from a menu, this question has been posted and answered several times on SO already, for example here.
