Hi NG,

I'd like to customize the Editor Tab context menu in 3.1. Especially I'm
searching for a method to remove the "New Editor" entry. I already
seached eclipse.org and javadoc without results.

Any Idea?

Thanks in advance

Guido

That's all done in the presentation ... there's no hook to just remove
it. You can open an enhancement request against Eclipse - Platform/UI.

You can always write your own presentation (it controls how each view
stack and how the editor area stack are presented). Check out
org.eclipse.ui.examples.presentation for the EclipseCon 2005 talk + a
couple of examples.

That's exactly the thing I don't want to do.
But is there a possibility to disable (setGrey or something like this)
the "New Editor" entry?

Thanks in advance

As per the first line in my response:

Yes, you can grey it out like this:

Although it is not 100% dependable as other handlers can be registered in it's place after the fact.

Put this in ApplicationWorkbenchAdvisor PostStartup() method

@Override
	public void postStartup() {

		super.postStartup();

		ICommandService commandService = (ICommandService)
		PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getService(ICommandService.class);   
		commandService.getCommand("org.eclipse.ui.window.newEditor").setHandler(null);
		
	}


A better solution is to register a more specific custom handler as outlined in the feature request:
