Hi,

I'm trying to remove specific menu items from the Run menu in my Eclipse plug-in. But at this point, I just want to see my efforts have *any* effect on the UI. Below is the portion of my plugin.xml having to do with activities. I believe what it should do is hide any menu items contributed by org.eclipse.debug.* And I believe that includes the following menu items:

Run
Debug
Run History
Run As
Run Configurations...
Debug History
Debug As
Debug Configurations...

However my single activity below does not hide these menu items. I see my activity in Window->Preferences->General->Capabilities, and it's disabled. But the code doesn't appear to have any effect on the menu items.

   <extension
         point="org.eclipse.ui.activities">
      <category
            description="Contains activities bindings declared in the com.exo.seas plugin"
            id="com.exo.seas.activity.category.seas"
            name="SEAS Activities">
      </category>
   </extension>
   <extension
         point="org.eclipse.ui.activities">
      <activity
            description="An activity for Debugging capabilities"
            id="com.exo.seas.activity.debug"
            name="Debug Activity">
      </activity>
      <categoryActivityBinding
            activityId="com.exo.seas.activity.debug"
            categoryId="com.exo.seas.activity.category.seas">
      </categoryActivityBinding>
      <activityPatternBinding
            activityId="com.exo.seas.activity.debug"
            pattern="org\.eclipse\.debug\..*/.*">
       </activityPatternBinding>
   </extension>

Thanks!

Hi Joey,

IIRC the perspectiveExtension extension point has options for removing menu
items.

Wim,

Thanks for the reply - I saw that the perspectiveExtension had the ability to create a hidden menu item of sorts, but I couldn't seem to get it to hide any menu contributions.

However, I finally found an activities example that was able to lead me to success:
