Hello Everyone,

I have an action set and i want to make that action set visible only if a certain kind of project is selected in the projects menu.(lets say a Java project). If no such project or some other type of project is selected, then my action set in the Menu should stay greyed out.

Any help ?

ActionSet visibility was not defined to be so fine grained. it's not
supposed to track selection, but enable a group of actions for that
perspective (task oriented). Or with actionSetPartAssociations, as long
as a specific part is active.

But the actions themselves can respond to the current selection and
enable/disable themselves.

Thanks Paul for the info.
But i want to do something like this :

Depending upon the project selected, i want to transfer some default template files to that project from my plugin jar file. Now i am facing two potential problems:

1. How to get the selected node from package explorer? ( On solution is mentioned in this but i am getting selection = null, so i am stranded on this)

2. How to transfer files from the jar file of my plugin to that selected project?

Thanks in advance,
Sandeep.

In commands/handlers, you use HandlerUtil to get the current selection.
In an ActionSet, your IActionDelegate will be told the current
selection in org.eclipse.ui.IActionDelegate.selectionChanged(IAction,
ISelection)

See the conversation in How to Install a Plug-in?

Regarding my original question, there is a way..
in plugin.xml, all i did was :

enablesFor="1"
<selection class="org.eclipse.jdt.internal.core.JavaProject">
</selection>

and now the action set is visible only if a Java project is selected.
This is all i wanted Smile

Sandeep.
