The PrintModeDialog in the logic example is never used!
The editor supports print via the workbenchs global print action and not=

its own LogicPrintAction,
as that one is never registered. Just FYI...

Check the plugin.xml file for usage of this action. It's too bad a
constructor search doesn't find this hit.

Right-click on a .logic file to see the dialog

I see. If i right click on a *.logic file in the package explorer the =

print action that is run is the logic-print action. But the one in the =

file menu and on the tool bar are not.
Wouldn`t it be consistent to override the eclipse print action there too=
?
Can this be done by simlpy setting OverrideAction ID in the plugin.xml?
Or would it have to be registered manuall with the menu and toolbar in t=

contributor class?

We are extending the context menu. The package explorer controls the
File->Print global action. Talk to platform-UI team if you think new
extension points are needed. I don't think people expect those actions to
map to views.

I see. At least for editors i would say that _users_ would expect exact=

I.e. in the logic editor example the context menu`s print item offers th=

printmode dialog which makes sense and is a nice feature for a graphical=
=

editor. But the more easily accessible file->print and toolbar->print =

action don`t.
So when the editor i active and the user selects print hewould expect al=
l =

the print actions to be the same.
(He probably wouldn`t even know that the print action from the context =

menu differs from the one in the toolbar or filemenu and so use the more=
=

easily accessible one)

But isn`t this what overrideActionId in the plugin.xml is for?
