Hi,

I'm attempting to add some default actions (e.g. Save action) to an RCP
application. I know this can do in ActionBarAdvisor that use the
ActionFactory, such as:

saveAction = ActionFactory.SAVE.create(window);
register(saveAction);


And then in fillCoolBar:

IToolBarManager toolbar = new ToolBarManager(SWT.FLAT | SWT.RIGHT);
coolBar.add(new ToolBarContributionItem(toolbar, "main"));
toolbar.add(saveAction);

The Save item would on the toolbar with the default icon.Because The
default icon register in SaveAction's constructor method:

/**
* Create an instance of this class
*
* @param window the window
*/
public SaveAction(IWorkbenchWindow window) {
super(WorkbenchMessages.SaveAction_text, window);
setText(WorkbenchMessages.SaveAction_text);
setToolTipText(WorkbenchMessages.SaveAction_toolTip);
setId("save"); //$NON-NLS-1$
window.getWorkbench().getHelpSystem().setHelp(this,
IWorkbenchHelpContextIds.SAVE_ACTION);
setImageDescriptor(WorkbenchImages
.getImageDescriptor(ISharedImages.IMG_ETOOL_SAVE_EDIT));
setDisabledImageDescriptor(WorkbenchImages

..getImageDescriptor(ISharedImages.IMG_ETOOL_SAVE_EDIT_DISAB LED));
setActionDefinitionId(IWorkbenchCommandConstants.FILE_SAVE);
((WorkbenchWindow)window).addBackgroundSaveListener(this);
}

So I want to know is it possible the replace the Save action's default
icon in RCP application? If yes, How?

Best Regards,
Cheney

thanks for your reply. That would be a choice as you said.

I know that it can use the menu extension to definition the menu or
toolbar, such as:

<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.menus">
<menuContribution
locationURI="menu:org.eclipse.ui.main.menu">
<menu id="file" label="File" mnemonic="F">
<command
commandId="org.eclipse.ui.file.save"
>
</command>
</menu>
</menuContribution>
</extension>

So I guess it would be ok to redefinition the new icon in plugin.xml. I
will test it then put the result here.

Thanks again.

Hi All,

I use the menu extension to define the menu and toolbar, and set the
icon attribute to replace the standard action's default icon, it works
fine as expected.

<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.menus">
<menuContribution
locationURI="menu:org.eclipse.ui.main.menu">
<menu
id="file"
label="File">
<command
commandId="org.eclipse.ui.file.save"
icon="icons/save.png"
style="push">
</command>
</menu>
</menuContribution>
<menuContribution
locationURI="toolbar:org.eclipse.ui.main.toolbar">
<toolbar
id="org.eclipse.ui.workbench.file">
<command
commandId="org.eclipse.ui.file.save"
icon="icons/save.png"
style="push">
</command>
</toolbar>
</menuContribution>
</extension>

or use the commandImage extension to prevent set the icon attribute
duplicate.

<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.menus">
<menuContribution
locationURI="menu:org.eclipse.ui.main.menu">
<menu
id="file"
label="File">
<command
commandId="org.eclipse.ui.file.save"
style="push">
</command>
</menu>
</menuContribution>
<menuContribution
locationURI="toolbar:org.eclipse.ui.main.toolbar">
<toolbar
id="org.eclipse.ui.workbench.file">
<command
commandId="org.eclipse.ui.file.save"
style="push">
</command>
</toolbar>
</menuContribution>
</extension>
<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.commandImages">
<image
commandId="org.eclipse.ui.file.save"
icon="icons/save.png">
</image>
</extension>

Best Regards,
Cheney
