WorkbenchWindowAdvisor question [message #635086]

Hi all,
I have a question regarding the WorkbenchWindowAdvisor. I currently have an application that has a WorkbenchWindowAdvisor that creates a Menu. The items that appear on the menu are determined by plugins that use an extension point defined in the application. When a menu item is clicked, the plugin that defined that menu element opens a new workbench window with a new perspective. My issue is that every new workbench window opened contains the menu of the main application, and I don't want it to. Is there a way from within the called plugin to override the behavior of the main app's WorkbenchWindowAdvisor? Perhaps define a new WorkbenchWindowAdvisor for that specific workbench window? How would I go about doing this, since PlatformUI.getWorkbench().openWorkbenchWindow does not take an advisor like createAndRunWorkbench does?

Thanks!

Jim

The place to do it would be in your
org.eclipse.ui.application.WorkbenchAdvisor.createWorkbenchW indowAdvisor(IWorkbenchWindowConfigurer)
You can create a different Advisor for the second window.

You'll have to dig through the information available at that point to
see if you can tell you're on the second window, or your special window.

As I wade in to this further, I am having a hard time figuring out the best approach to relay what the window type is to the WorkbenchAdvisor. Is there some way to pass a uniqueID to the Advisor based upon the WorkbenchWindow it is trying to create? Can the IWorkBenchWindowConfigurer be modified by the plugin to include an identifier in its setData? I know I can figure out some way to notify the advisor, but I am looking for a solid approach - I don't want to hack it Smile

Thanks!

Jim
