file. Could someone please suggest how I can achieve this?

Thanks in advance.

The copy handler has a default (widget copy) but the pattern is each
view or editor contributes their own copy handler.

To prevent copying while in your view, simply provide a copy handler
that doesn't do anything.

You can't, it's not your view.

What are you trying to do, exactly? What usecase do you have that
requires copy to suddenly stop working in the Package Explorer?

Hi ,
My exact requirnment is I select one file to copy, one more file which
is not selected by the me should also get copied along with the selected
file and during paste both of these file should get pasted . The selected
file has a dependency on the other file which I want to copy
automatically. I want this operation in package explorer view. I saw many
examples for this , but for me I am not able to get the control of
copyAction. Can you please help me on this? If I can't do this than I need
to disable the copy operation.

If there is any example for such case , that would be really nice .

Best Regards,
Vikas

Say I'm your user. I copy a file in Package Explorer and paste it in
another location. Instead of one file getting pasted, I get two
different files getting pasted. Won't this be confusing to me?

Hi,
My another file is hidden from the user. This exact requirnment is with
respect to GMF, where we have separate model and diagram file. My model
file is hidden with a filter. but if user copy only diagram file this will
not work. So I want when user copy diagram file it should automatically
copy model file as well . So that my diagram file work properly.

Best Regards,
Vikas
