Hide "Run" menu (already using activities) [message #507872]

Hello.

My RCP application depends on many Eclipse plugins. One of them contributes a "Run" menu that I can't get rid of.
I use the activities extension point to hide all that stuff from the other plugins, but even if I simply hide everything (by using an activity pattern ".*") an empty "Run" menu remains.
How do I hide that one?

Regards,
Kai

Hi Niels.

I took the time to clear up the plugin dependencies of my RCP app and the "Run" menu was gone. So I don't have a solution for you, sorry. I am also still not exactly sure what plugin contributed that menu and why it wasn't possible to hide it by using activities.

Regards,
Kai

I've run into the same problem as well...it seems it's being contributed by the org.eclipse.debug.ui plugin as it goes away when not running with that plugin. That said, I still can't seem to remove the 'Run' menu using activities either. Sad

I had the same problem. I too could see it was related to "org.eclipse.debug.ui".

However in my case the Run menu appeared because one of my own plugins had a dependency to "org.eclipse.ui.externaltools".

My solution so far:

1. Remove the dependency to "org.eclipse.ui.externaltools" (located in MANIFEST.MF)

2. Open the Run Configuration goto to the Plug-ins tab and click "Deselect All", press "Apply" and click "Add Required Plug-ins".

3. Press "Apply" and try to run it again.

Finally no annoying Run menu for me.

It would appear that because I included the Plugin Spy in my RCP app - the plugin org.eclipse.ui.externaltools is also loaded at runtime. This gives me the "Run" menu.

I tried to get rid of the menu using the "org.eclipse.ui.activities" extension, with the pattern "org.eclipse.ui.run" - but I could not get it to work.

So I ended up fixing this programmatically. The code below removes all menu items with the id "org.eclipse.ui.run".

It works OK - but I would rather do this in the "org.eclipse.ui.activities" extension.

ApplicationWorkbenchWindowAdvisor.java

  @Override
  public void postWindowOpen()
  {
    super.postWindowOpen();
    
    IWorkbenchWindowConfigurer workbenchWindowConfigurer = getWindowConfigurer();
    IActionBarConfigurer actionBarConfigurer = workbenchWindowConfigurer.getActionBarConfigurer();
    IMenuManager menuManager = actionBarConfigurer.getMenuManager();
    
    IContributionItem[] menuItems = menuManager.getItems();
    for ( int i = 0; i < menuItems.length; i++ )
    {
      IContributionItem menuItem = menuItems[i];
      
      // Hack to remove the Run menu - it seems you cannot do this using the 
      // "org.eclipse.ui.activities" extension
      if ("org.eclipse.ui.run".equals(menuItem.getId())) {
        menuManager.remove(menuItem);
      }
    }
    
    menuManager.update(true);    
  }

Create a perspectiveExtension extension (org.eclipse.ui.perspectiveExtensions) targeting your application perspective then add a "hiddenMenuItem" element to it with the id "org.eclipse.ui.run".
In your application perspective, the "Run" menu item will be hidden.

I tried this to hide the search menu:

<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.perspectiveExtensions">
      <perspectiveExtension targetID="com.exoanalytic.seas.SEASPerspective">
         <hiddenMenuItem id="org.eclipse.search.menu">
         </hiddenMenuItem>
      </perspectiveExtension>
</extension>

But to no avail...the Search menu still appears. The lack of clarity when trying to control unwanted contributions can be quite frustrating...

Overriding the WorkbenchWindowAdvisor's postWindowCreate method I succeded to hide the "Search" using this instruction:
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActi vePage().hideActionSet( "org.eclipse.search.searchActionSet");
