Hello,

I'm including 3rd party plugins in my RCP Application. Unfortunately these plugins add Property Pages to my Settings.

how can i remove or hide these pages. or how can i configure Eclipse
to prevent adding them (something like a filter)?

thanks in advance!

PS: i use default settings for the 3rd party plugins and the user should not be flooded with too much. therefore a clean menue would be preferred

You can't do that easily - I'm not sure if activities apply to
preference pages but I found this
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1460761/howto-hide-a-preference-page-in-an-eclipse-rcp
where they are removing the preference pages the hard way!

The ideal thing would be if you upstream dep would move the preference
stuff in an extra plugin so that you have:
* ...my.bundle
* ...my.bundle.preferences

or even better
* ...my.bundle
=> here is the implementations of views, preference pages, ...
* ...my.bundle.wbcontrib
=> here are the contributions they are making to the workbench (the
plugin.xml)

thanks this post was helpful.

so in

public void postStartup()

i can clean out the Preferences. but i was not able to clean out the menu there (eg 'run' gets contributed by an plugin.)

i already have a Handler which cleans up the menu fine, (i have it in the menue now to test it.)
my first intention was to call it on

public void postWindowOpen(IWorkbenchWindowConfigurer configurer)

but still no luck
