How do you remove wizards from a wizard registry? [message #309824]

The wizard registries hold wizards registered as extensions. For my
RCP, I need some plugins but they also provide wizards but I don't want
showing in the wizard list. For example, the CVS module includes import
wizards from repositories but I don't want this wizard showing in the
import wizard list when using the ImportResourceAction action to start
the import wizard.

Thoughts on how to remove from the import wizard registry? Perhaps I
need to remove the extension itself for that wizard?

(see PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getImportWizardRegistry()).

by default you can't remove anything ... you get it for free :-)

But you can make certain parts not visible. You need to use
Activities/capabilities ... bind the ids that you don't want there to an
activity and leave it disabled ... that will make it disappear from the UI.

Check out Help>Help Contents>Platform Plug-in Developer
Guide>Programmers Guide for information, and search this (and
eclipse.platform.rcp) newsgroup archives.

Pookzilla also has a blog with some examples.

That seems to work in general. Here's a couple of links for others:

http://help.eclipse.org/help32/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse. jdt.doc.user/reference/ref-menu-source.htm

I would venture that a good feature to have is something that allows one
to select ids that are literally "never turn on" features. Perhaps an
extension point that uses activities under the hood until more
infrastructure supports turning on/off parts of plugins.

Seems like turning off things is just as important as turning on things
when customizing (thinking back to SAP-type configuration/customization).

Thanks a bunch.
