Hide the view name from Window-->Show View [message #461660]

I have added a view to an RCP application and created a shortcut to open
the view. Now I don't want the view to appear in the list of views in the
Window-->Show View dialog. I want it to be available only through the
shortcut keys. I tried looking for information on this but didn't find
any. Any help would be great !!

Your choice (for 3.2) is to edit the plugin.xml in the appropriate plugin (org.eclipse.ui?) to remove that menu item. In 3.3, there's work being done to allow customisation of the window to be present (we've covered this before: http://www.eclipsezone.com/eclipse/forums/t85561.html)

Thanks Alex!!

But our product has multiple plug-ins each with its own set of views. The
list of plug-ins is created internally by the RCP platform. The plugin.xml
for my particular plugin declares the view. So I cannot remove the view
declaration from there. Which plugin.xml are you referring to?

The plugin.xml of the plugin that defines the 'show view', possibly org.eclipse.ui or org.eclipse.ui.ide. Unfortunately you'll have to dig around to find which one :-)

You can also implement your own Show View action.
