Window -> Open Perspective & Show View [message #448204]

Hey,

Is there an easy way to get the "Open Perspective" & "Show View" items
under the "Window" entry in the menu bar? I figured that these may be
pre-built items that I could just add to the menu.

Thanks,
-Stephen

In your WorkbenchAdvisor, from fillActionBars you can do this:

IMenuManager menuBar = configurer.getMenuManager();
MenuManager winMenuMgr = createWindowMenu(window);
menuBar.add(winMenuMgr);
menuBar.update();

private MenuManager createWindowMenu(IWorkbenchWindow window)
{
MenuManager menu = new MenuManager("Window"),
IWorkbenchActionConstants.M_WINDOW);
menu.add(ActionFactory.OPEN_NEW_WINDOW.create(window));

menu.add(new Separator());
MenuManager perspectiveMenu = new MenuManager("Open Perspective"),
"openPerspective");
IContributionItem perspectiveList =
ContributionItemFactory.PERSPECTIVES_SHORTLIST.create(window );
perspectiveMenu.add(perspectiveList);
menu.add(perspectiveMenu);

MenuManager viewMenu = new MenuManager("Show View"));
IContributionItem viewList =
ContributionItemFactory.VIEWS_SHORTLIST.create(window);
viewMenu.add(viewList);
menu.add(viewMenu);

menu.update();

return menu;
}
