How to disable ActionSets contributed by other plugins ? [message #486428]

Hello.

I build an RCP application above Eclipse Platform 3.4.2.
This feature comes with some plugins defining action sets
("org.eclipse.ui.cheatsheets.actionSet",
"org.eclipse.ui.edit.text.actionSet.convertLineDelimitersTo", and so on)
which are active by default when I run my app.

Is there a way of disabling them either by :
- using a "plugin_customization.ini" parameter to list the default wanted
active ActionSets at startup ?
- defining my proper perspective and calling some API in the
createInitialLayout() method ?
- using the ActionSetRegistry in a plugin earlyStartup() ?

I succeeded in *removing* them, using ActionSetRegistry in my plugin
earlyStartup() but that *didn't disable* them !! They disappeared from the
[Window|Customize Perspective...|Commands] list but their GUI
contributions were still there. Even a call to
IActionSetDescriptor.setInitiallyVisible(false) didn't disable them ...

I guess that the removeExtension() and setInitiallyVisible() calls came
too late in the workbench lifecycle.

So, what are the right footstrap and method ?
Thank you for your help.
JM.D

To make actionSets disappear, use org.eclipse.ui.activities. Create an activity with default enablement false, and bind it to a pattern that will match the actionSets in question. The pattern is always plugin.id/action.set.id
