Q: how to control checked menuitem for an objectcontribution [message #69620]

I currently have a menu in an objectcontribution for IJavaProject
with an enable and a disable MenuItem. I want to replace that with
a single checked menuitem (style CHECKED) with label "Enabled".
However, what I can't figure out is where and how I control whether
it appears checked or not. Has anybody done this? How does it work?

Thanks,

Frank Sauer

If you are creating the Action yourself, then create it with style
IAction.AS_CHECK_BOX.

If you are using plugin.xml extension point for Object Contribution,
then use style="toggle" on the action definition in the xml.

Thanks, that's part of the answer, but where do I hook into to control
whether it appears as checked or not? I need to see whether the project
has a given project nature or not. The check should appear if it does, in
which case selection removes it, and it should not be checked if it does
not,
in which case selection should add it.

Use setValue() with Boolean.TRUE or Boolean.FALSE to set/unset the
checkmark.
