[HowTo] make action set appear in some perspectives but not others? [message #453057]

The help-docs,
http://help.eclipse.org/help31/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse. platform.doc.isv/guide/workbench_advext_perspectiveExtension .htm
say that:
<< The actionSet parameter identifies the id of a previously declared action set that should be
added to the target perspective. This markup is analogous to using IPageLayout.addActionSet in the
IPerspectiveFactory. >>

I thought this would be the way to get an action set to appear in some perspectives but not others.
But It does not seem to do anything at all.

I have two perspectives, Q and D (let's say), and in Q I want actionset A to appear, but in D I do
not want it to appear. After adding the markup as below, and even after running with -clean, the
actionset A still appears.

Any ideas on how to do what I want?

hi,

you have to set "visible" attribute of action set to "false":

<actionSet
visible="false"
id="de.imedic.edu.rcp.actions.actionSet">
