I am new in Eclipse RCP plug in development.
I had written one plug-in with my own perspective and added perspective specific menus within it.
My question is how to hide the default menus provided within Eclipse, like Edit, Navigated, Search, Project ?
I tried with using '< extension point="org.eclipse.core.expressions.definitions" >'
and putting my view specific condition, withing menu contribution's.
Any help is appreciated.
Best regards,
Mandar Phatak.
You need activities. Example from my current project:
<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.activities">
<activity
id="arm.activity.disabled"
name="%arm.activity.disabled.name">
<enabledWhen>
<with
variable="selection">
<count
value="-1">
</count>
</with>
</enabledWhen>
</activity>
<activityPatternBinding
activityId="arm.activity.disabled"
pattern="org\.eclipse\.m2e\..*">
</activityPatternBinding>
<activityPatternBinding
activityId="arm.activity.disabled"
pattern="org\.eclipse\.search\..*">
</activityPatternBinding>
<activityPatternBinding
activityId="arm.activity.disabled"
pattern="org\.eclipse\.team\..*">
</activityPatternBinding>
<activityPatternBinding
activityId="arm.activity.disabled"
pattern="org\.eclipse\.compare.*">
</activityPatternBinding>
<activityPatternBinding
activityId="arm.activity.disabled"
pattern="org\.eclipse\.help\.ui\.PrefPageHelp.*">
</activityPatternBinding>
<activityPatternBinding
activityId="arm.activity.disabled"
isEqualityPattern="true"
pattern="org.eclipse.ui.ide/org.eclipse.ui.preferencePages.Workspace">
</activityPatternBinding>
<activityPatternBinding
activityId="arm.activity.disabled"
isEqualityPattern="true"
pattern="org.eclipse.ui.ide/org.eclipse.ui.preferencePages.Perspectives">
</activityPatternBinding>
</extension>
One approach is in your rcp application you have a class that extends ActionBarAdvisor and in the constructor of the class you can do something like this for example to remove the edit menu
configurer.getMenuManager().remove(IWorkbenchActionConstants.M_EDIT);
All common eclipse menus like edit will have a constant defined in the class above, do that for the menu's you want to remove from your application.
This is only one approach I'm sure there might be others but hope this gets what you need.

Any hints will be more than welcome!

and that is what I get
I want to remove all unnecessery manu and toolbar.
Thanks
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.
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 want to add a property page in eclipse via my plugin. This property page must be enabled only for projects of my nature. I have written the below code in plugin.xml
<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.propertyPages">
<page
class="com.test.me.ME"
id="com.test.me.ME"
name="ME">
<and>
<instanceof
value="org.eclipse.core.resources.IProject">
</instanceof>
<adapt
type="org.eclipse.core.resources.IResource">
<test
property="org.eclipse.core.resources.projectNature"
value="com.test.me.meprojectnature">
</test>
</adapt>
</and>
</page>
The above code works fine for the projects in project explorer and navigator view. But the same doesn't work in package Explorer view.
So, how to achieve the same functionality specific for package explorer view?
You should move your instanceof check inside adapt.
I have not tried it but my opinion is that in your package explorer there aren't org.eclipse.core.resources.IProject elements, you should try whatever input you have (for example org.eclipse.jdt.core.IJavaProject)
#nitind is right, you're specifying too many constraints. You want to say "Enabled when the selection is adaptable to an IProject and it's "projectNaure" property includes "my nature."
This should do it:
<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.propertyPages">
<page
name="My Property Page"
class="some.package.MyPropertyPage"
id="some.package.MyPropertyPage">
<enabledWhen>
<adapt type="org.eclipse.core.resources.IProject">
<test
property="org.eclipse.core.resources.projectNature"
value="some.package.MyNatureID"/>
</adapt>
</enabledWhen>
</page>
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.
