You can't - choose a sensible default and change it once your plugin is
loaded.

visibility is not determined by plugin activation. Visibility is
determined by the "visibility" criteria set up in the plugin.xml where
the entry is declared.

The plugin won't be activated by the action until a run() is executed
(i.e. the menu entry was selected). At that point in time, if the plugin
was not already active, it will be activated and the action delegate
will be created.

If however, the plugin is already active at the time the action is
created, then the action delegate will be created too, and it will be
given a chance to change the text.

I apologize for unclear formulation. Here is an excerpt from the
"plugin.xml":

<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.popupMenus">
<objectContribution objectClass="org.eclipse.core.resources.IProject">
<action label="Sensible default" icon="Sensible default" />
<visibility>
<pluginState value="activated"/>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
</visibility>
</objectContribution>
</extension>

Thanks,

That's a different story, your criteria explicitly stated only visible
if plugin is activated. So until you activate the plugin through some
other mechanism then the item will be not visible. Using that criteria
you will have an action delegate created when it becomes visible and so
your action delegate can change the text at that time.

Is this really what you wanted, to not be visible until plugin is activated?
