Menu disabled in RCP with Kepler M4 [message #994869]

Hi,

I've just tried to run with Kepler M4 an RCP application I did with Juno, and I saw all submenus/toolbar actions are disabled. I tried a brand new sample app in Kepler (with the "Eclipse 4 Application Project" wizard, checking "Create Sample content", without adding anything in the project), to check if I did something wrong, but it is the same : the app has File/Help menus with inside submenus (Open, Save and Quit for File, and About for Help) and 2 actions in the top toolbar (openCommand/saveCommand) but all these submenus and actions are disabled (they are not with the same app in Juno).

Is this a known issue ? I haven't found anything about this.

I tried to investigate, but I don't know anything about this part, so I don't even know where I should begin Sad

.

If someone can give me a hand, he/she would be welcome ! Wink

You need to register a new model add-on HandlerProcessingAddon The tools have not been updated yet. See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=394172

I tried to add the addon as mentioned, but i am still facing the problem of disabled menu options. Is there anything specific to be done after the addition of the Addon.

You may have forgotten to clear your workspace configuration when running your app ? Try the "clean" option in your run configuration,if so, and it may solve your issue Wink

Hi.

Sorry for digging on this topic.

Kepler is now in M5 release, and I added this addon. Everything works fine, however views private members are not injected. Using a constructor everything is injected, but doing :

  @Inject 
	private EMenuService menuService;

menuService remains null.

Likewise createControls is not invoked. I had to explicitly invoke it from inside the constructor

@PostConstruct
public void createControls(Composite parent)

Anyone can tell me why? What is missing? Notice this was working on Juno.

Thanks in advance.

You're likely hitting this problem:

Be sure to use versions Import-Package statements.
