Hello everyone, I'm trying to get the "Show View" dialog to appear by using the following code:

<extension
         point="org.eclipse.ui.menus">
      <menuContribution
            locationURI="menu:org.eclipse.ui.main.menu">
         <menu
               label="Window">
            <command
                  commandId="org.eclipse.ui.views.showView"
                  style="push">
            </command>
         </menu>
      </menuContribution>
   </extension>

But it's always disabled. The same code with the command "org.eclipse.ui.perspectives.showPerspective" works fine (shows the perspective dialog).

What's wrong?

Thanks in advance!

You have to add a "parameter" to the command with the name of the view which should be shown:

name:
org.eclipse.ui.views.showView.viewId

value:
my.view.id

<command
commandId="org.eclipse.ui.views.showView"
style="push">
<parameter
name="org.eclipse.ui.views.showView.viewId"
value="my.view.id">
</parameter>
</command>

I figured it out; I was trying to show views without having set a perspective first. The command works just fine without parameters, but it only shows views who are in your current perspective.

Thanks!

Hi rmmartins,

Try this in your ApplicationAcationBarAdvisor class

showViewAction = ActionFactory.SHOW_VIEW_MENU.create(window);
register(showViewAction);
