How use wbp-palette-commands.xml inside plug-in project [message #902289]

Hi,

I want to restrict the components and categories in the toolkit. I want to know if can I use the wbp-palette-commands.xml inside my plugin.

I see that if I put this XML in a folder called wbp-meta inside the project where my plug-in is running it works. But I want that the plug-in do this restriction...

Are there anyway to do that? Put this XML inside the plug-in? Or exists a extension point to do that?

What do you mean under "restrict"?

Palette command can be read from jars, from project and from WindowBuilder internal location.
See org.eclipse.wb.internal.core.editor.palette.PaletteManager.commandsRead()

There is also org.eclipse.wb.core.editor.palette.PaletteEventListener which you can register and manipulate palette categories and entries before they are shown.

I want to hide some categories or components...

But how I make the palette read this command? I've see org.eclipse.wb.internal.core.editor.palette.PaletteManager.commandsRead(), and I just found it searching in the current workspace, not in my plugin...

I'll see a little more...

So,

I add the listener in my HorizontalBoxInfo, and it works! It's the best way to do that?

Thks for your support!

If listener is in model, it will be added only if form has your component, so model created.
If you want to have it active always, you need org.eclipse.wb.core.model.IRootProcessor register in "org.eclipse.wb.core.rootProcessors" extension point.
