Hello, I am working with Eclipse. I am developing a new perspective. I need to remove some Eclipse platform contributions (defined via org.eclipse.ui.popupMenus) in this perspective. Some of these popup menu options to be removed ar "Debug As...", for example.

Please help. Thanks.

It sounds like you might want to use activities or contexts. Have a look at extension points org.eclipse.ui.activities and org.eclipse.ui.contexts. There is a helpful description of how they work in the on-line help documentation that comes with the IDE. Look in Platform Plugin Developer Guide -> Advanced workbench concepts -> Filtering large user interfaces

As the help topic suggests, these extension points enable you to filter the UI contributions based on various criteria. In general, activities are used to define large groups of capabilities and make specific groups available to the user while doing certain types of things (like developing code in a specific language), or to make groups of activities available based on user permissions. Contexts provide a more fine-grained, dynamic UI filtering capability, for example changing available contributions based on what the user has clicked or what the current selection is.
