Action set in a perspective extension [message #36415]

Hi!

I have the following problem:
I want to add an action to the toolbar but the action should only appear in
a specific perspective. So I created an action set and set the visibility to
false. After that I created an perspective extension for the perspective in
which the action should appear. Have a look at the following plugin.xml
snipplet:

<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.actionSets">

<actionSet id="de.beyondsoft.voipconf.web.ui.actionSet"

label="Sample Action Set" visible="false">

<action

class="de.beyondsoft.voipconf.web.ui.actions.SampleAction"

icon="icons/sample.gif"

id="de.beyondsoft.voipconf.web.ui.actions.SampleAction"

label="&Sample Action" menubarPath="sampleMenu/sampleGroup"

toolbarPath="sampleGroup" tooltip="Hello, Eclipse world">

</action>

</actionSet>

</extension>

<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.perspectiveExtensions">

<perspectiveExtension

targetID="de.beyondsoft.voipconf.web.ui.AdminPerspective">

<actionSet id="de.beyondsoft.voipconf.web.ui.actionSet" />

</perspectiveExtension>

</extension>

At this point everythings seems to be ok. The action did not appear in my
default perspective and after switching to the AdminPerspective like this

IWorkbench workbench = PlatformUI.getWorkbench();

workbench.showPerspective(AdminPerspective.ID,workbench.getA ctiveWorkbenchWindow());

the action appears as expected.

If I switch back to my default perspective I would expect that the toolbar
action disappears. But it doesn't!

Is it a bug? Should I file a report?

Thanks a lot!

Benedikt

As we have the same use case in our demo application: there it works.

Could you test it by using the perspective switcher instead of switching
the perspective manually? If the bug only occurs when switching the
perspective programmatically, please file a bug against the workbench
component.

You are right. The bug only occurs if I switch the perspective manually.
I filed a bug: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=195243
