How to remove the default "project"/"example"/"other" item from the ne [message #502120]

Currently, I'm working on the common navigation framework to make my own viewer.

However, as I successfully accomplished my work by implements serveal common wizard item(under new wizard category), I found that there's always the "Project"/"Example"/"Other" item displaying with my new wizard item when right click in the my viewer.
I've tried to remove the three items but end in vain. I've used the extension point "org.eclipse.ui.activitise " mentioned in topic " http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.platform.rcp/m sg36794.html", but it only remove the item in new wizard dialog.

I am wondering how could I remove these item from my right click wizard menu. Any advice are welcomed.

In your viewerActionBinding element you are probably doing something like this:

       <viewerActionBinding
            viewerId="org.eclipse.ui.navigator.ProjectExplorer">
         <includes>
             <actionExtension pattern="org.eclipse.ui.navigator.resources.*" />
         </includes>

You don't want the org.eclipse.ui.navigator.resources.NewActions as that adds the undesirable items. You will probably need to copy this code and make your own NewActions which does not have this.

If I were you, I would file a bug complaining about the need to do this simply to remove these items. It seems like too much work.

Hi Francis,

I tried to remove the following code you metioned.

       <viewerActionBinding
            viewerId="org.eclipse.ui.navigator.ProjectExplorer">
         <includes>
             <actionExtension pattern="org.eclipse.ui.navigator.resources.*" />
         </includes>

Then, the new action group and other action group are gone. Seems like what I need.
I browse the source code of org.eclipse.ui.navigator.resources and found there's a newactionprovider and there's the code which adds NewProjectAction & NewExampleAction. Using a customized NewActionProvider may help to solve my problem.

Thanks for your advice.

And bug 297190 is created for this.
