Hello there!
I'm developing a plugin wherein I'm trying to write a new handle for eclipse commands Run and Build Project.
I've modified the plugin.xml file to declare the command like so:
  <command
         
            id="org.eclipse.ui.project.buildProject"
            name="Build Project">
      </command>



I've also extended handlers and used theactivewhen restriction to give my handler greater priority than the customhandler :
 
  </extension>
<extension
       point="org.eclipse.ui.handlers">
    <handler
          class="%MyHandler"
          commandId="org.eclipse.ui.project.buildProject">
       <activeWhen>
       
        <with variable="activePartId">
         <equals value="myactiveid"/>
    	 </with>
    
     </activeWhen>
      
    </handler>
       
</extension>


I've used the Alt+shift+F1 spy to check that my id is active and indeed, it is active when I call the build command.

I've extended org.eclipse.ui.startup to rule out the possibility of lazy loading.
   <extension
         point="org.eclipse.ui.startup">
      <startup
            class="customplugin.StartupClass">
      </startup>
   </extension>

Despite all this, the default handler for both commands is still taken to be the inbuilt eclipse handler. Is there something I'm missing/doing wrong?

I read here
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28132938/eclipse-plugin-overriding-standard-command-handler
that commands like run cannot be overriden. Is this true? Can this source be trusted?

I trust it, but why would being able to override those ever be a good thing?

The plugin isn't working with vanilla java applications. Hence, I want build to automatically gradle build. Similarly run to automatically call scripts for deployment.
