Luna release: casting problem [message #1237784]

Hi,

I am working on project developed in Eclipse Helios, migrating from Eclipse 3.x to Eclipse 4 (in Luna release), one of problem is the following:

(java.lang.ClassCastException: org.eclipse.ui.internal.WorkbenchWindow cannot be cast to org.eclipse.jface.window.ApplicationWindow)
that is, the following casting:

...
((ApplicationWindow)PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow()).getShell()
...

arise the SWT exception:
org.eclipse.swt.SWTException: Failed to execute runnable (java.lang.ClassCastException: org.eclipse.ui.internal.WorkbenchWindow cannot be cast to org.eclipse.jface.window.ApplicationWindow).

Do you have a workaround or a solution for this problem.

Best regards,

pina

In Eclipse 4 we've moved away from using ApplicationWindow. If you can explain how you were using it perhaps I can point you towards a workaround...

I have the same issue

CoolBarManager aCoolBarManager =((ApplicationWindow) view.getSite().getWorkbenchWindow()).getCoolBarManager();

This code works fine in Eclipse 3.x but after migrate to Eclipse 4 gives the exception

!MESSAGE Problems occurred when invoking code from plug-in: "org.eclipse.ui.workbench".
!STACK 0
java.lang.ClassCastException: org.eclipse.ui.internal.WorkbenchWindow cannot be cast to org.eclipse.jface.window.ApplicationWindow

Do you have a workaround ?

There isn't likely to be a workaround for this...Again, what in particular do you need the cast for ?

Ok, the new hack is to use the following:

ICoolBarManager aCoolBarManager =((WorkbenchWindow) view.getSite().getWorkbenchWindow()).getCoolBarManager2();

Specifically note two things; the result is an interface and the "2" in the get call. 'getCoolBarManager()' will return a non-functional stub so make use to use 'getCoolBarManager2().

Hopefully what you want to do can be done with the interface...*this* is why downcasting to internals is bad... Wink

. If you are making additions then please consider switching over to using the org.eclipse.ui.menus extension point...
