Perspective and Dynamic Menu [message #464861]

Hi,

I'm trying to achieve the following for a RCP application:
(1)- define a menu that will appear only within a given perspective
(2)- menu contents must be set dynamically (not in plugin.xml)
(3)- menu contents and perspective are defined within a plugin.

(1) is easy. I cannot get (2) to work. There are several issues:
- how to access the main menubar from the plugin?
. casting IWorkbenchWindow to WorkbenchWindow?
- how to change the menu dynamically?
. I tried using a PerspectiveListener but it is notified too early
(actions are updated later)
. I tried setting a MenuListener on the menu but with no success either

Can someone please give me an advice on how to do this?
Is the above feature supported within the new dynamic menu scheme (Eclipse
3.3)?

Thanks in advance

Michel

It is more a workaround then a solution:
make a brakepoint in your Perspective in the function
createInitialLayout.

writte down all ActionSets in the layout variable you whant to remove.

In your ApplicationWorkbenchWindowAdvisor class add the method
postWindowOpen and hide the ActionSets you do not like.

For example:

postWindowOpen(){
IWorkbenchPage page = PlatformUI.getWorkbench()
.getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActivePage();
page.hideActionSet("org.eclipse.ui.WorkingSetActionSet");
page.hideActionSet("org.eclipse.ui.edit.text.actionSet.openExternalFile ");
page.hideActionSet("org.eclipse.ui.edit.text.actionSet.annotationNavigation ");
page.hideActionSet("org.eclipse.ui.edit.text.actionSet.navigation ");
page.hideActionSet("org.eclipse.ui.edit.text.actionSet.convertLineDelimitersTo ");
page.hideActionSet("org.eclipse.ui.actionSet.keyBindings");
page.hideActionSet("org.eclipse.update.ui.softwareUpdates");
}
