Hi all,

is the documented approach for hiding property sheet default sections still valid for the new approach in Sirius 4.0.1 ?

Following https://www.eclipse.org/sirius/doc/viewpoint-eef.html#HideSiriusbuiltinpropertysheetsectionsandthecorrespondingtabs I tried the following code:

   <extension point="org.eclipse.ui.views.properties.tabbed.propertyContributor">
      <propertyContributor
         contributorId="org.eclipse.sirius.diagram.ui"
         sectionDescriptorProvider="org.eclipse.sirius.eef.section.SiriusFilteringSectionDescriptor">
         <propertyCategory />
      </propertyContributor>
      <!--propertyContributor
         contributorId="org.eclipse.sirius.table.ui.EditorID"
         sectionDescriptorProvider="org.eclipse.sirius.eef.section.SiriusFilteringSectionDescriptor">
         <propertyCategory category="first" />
      </propertyContributor-->
   </extension>
   <extension point="org.eclipse.sirius.eef.adapters.sectionFilters">
      <propertyContributorFilters contributorId="org.eclipse.sirius.diagram.ui">
           <sectionFilter id="property.section.ConnectorAppearancePropertySection" />
           <sectionFilter id="property.section.ShapeColorAndFontPropertySection" />
           <sectionFilter id="property.section.DiagramColorsAndFontsPropertySection" />
           <sectionFilter id="property.section.DNodeListElementColorsAndFontsPropertySection" />
           <sectionFilter id="property.section.RulerGridPropertySection" />
           <sectionFilter id="property.section.behaviors" />
           <sectionFilter id="property.section.documentation" />
           <sectionFilter id="property.section.style" />
        </propertyContributorFilters>
    </extension>

But I still see all default sections. Any idea about that?

In the error log of my application the following error appeared: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.eclipse.sirius.eef.section.SiriusFilteringSectionDescriptor cannot be found. The launch configuration has org.eclipse.sirius.eef.adapters activated though.

Hi.

The org.eclipse.sirius.eef.adapters plug-in and the extension point you mention concern property tabs implemented using EEF 1.5 and before, when integrating with Sirius. It should still work fine with Sirius 4.0 (and the upcoming 4.1) if you are using EEF 1.5-based property views.

You mention "the new approach in Sirius 4.0.1", so I guess you're using the new ones, based on EEF 1.6+, which is a completely different code base than EEF 1.5 and earlier. The extension point org.eclipse.sirius.eef.adapters.sectionFilters is completely ignored by that. In Sirius 4.0.x there is no supported solution to hide tabs, but with the upcoming Sirius 4.1/EEF 1.7, EEF itself will provide an extension point to do this, see https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/c/77697/ for technical details.
