Class extending WorkbenchWindowControlContribution not invoking isVisible() method in Juno [message #989299]

Hi,

I noticed that with the migration to Juno 4.2, class extending WorkbenchWindowControlContribution isn't invoking an overridden method isVisible() which was working fine till 3.8. I am using this method to hide a custom composite (created in createControl method) to be shown/hidden in the toolbar based on the perspective. Is this an intentional change or should anything else be changed in the implementation to migrate to Juno?

Thank you for any help one can provide on this.

Regards,
Nihal

Experts,

There are over one thousand views. However, no one has extended any answer/direction towards its resolution. Sad

Any help would be really appreciated with this situation.

Thanks Tom.

I did raise a bugzilla for this.
In any case, I found a work around to get around this problem. Hence, posting it for the sake of other who are stuck in a similar situation.
The solution looks pretty simple though. All one has to do is, append a visibleWhen condition to the control through the plugin.xml's menu extension and conditionally hide the control.

However, the issue of isVisible method not being invoked remains as is. Sad
