Hi Eclipse Gurus,
I'm not sure if this is the correct newsgroup but anyway my problem is
this:
Im creating my own perspective and i want to disable the default
actionsets in the menu bar like File, Edit, Navigate etc. Can i do it
programmatically?
If not, in which plugin.xml should i modify in order to remove this?
Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ajing

Hi Martin,
Actually Im not into RCP. I just want to have a customized perspective
(including customizing the menu bar). I
still need to use Eclipse's other powerful perspective. Like for example,
i have my own model in the Navigator or Package Explorer. Though im into
creating Java Projects, I just want to have a perspective in such a way
that it will follow my model. If the user wants to see the sources that
was generated by my perspective, he can go to the java perspective. Is
that possible.
Many thanks to your reply...

The Eclipse User Interface Guideluines say the following:
"The Workbench's main menu bar usually contains the File, Edit, Navigate,
Project, Window, Help top-level menus. Other top-level menus that are in
between the Edit and Project menu are typically context specific, based on
the current active perspective, front most editor (whether active or not),
and active view.. "

The principle of a plugin is to contribute, not to customize. I.e. your
perspective can contribute menu items, but it can't take existing ones away
as far as I know. Besides, think of the consequences if plugin A could
remove plugin B's menu items and vice versa!
In your first post you were asking which plugin.xml you had to modify in
order to remove the menu items. Did you mean to modify the plugin.xml of
another plugin? If yes please give me more information about the background
of your plugin. Will it be used only by a limited user group e.g. at your
company? Because otherwise everybody who would like to integrate your plugin
would have to do these changes in order to see what you intended to show and
would then always lack the removed menu items...
I would appreciate hearing from you.

Thanks for the reply. it was a mind opener for me. Base from your reply
and posted article, it seems that i need to re-conceptualize on what im
about to do. The plugin that im thinking of is gonna only be use
internally. Only for our development purposes.
Thanks for the info, i was enlightend
