Hi,

I am using Eclipse IDE 3.7 for my RCP application.
In the application I am trying to use the WorkbenchWindow class from a file. I am coming accross the below mentioned warning:

Discouraged access: The type WorkbenchWindow is not accessible due to restriction on required project org.eclipse.ui.workbench_3.7.0.120110519

I have imported org.eclipse.ui.internal.WorkbenchWindow.
Please suggest for pointers, if any to resolve this warning.

Thanks in Advance,
Ajinkya

Why are you referring to such an implementation detail class? You should
refer to the public AP, i.e. to interface IWorkbenchWindow instead.

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for your reply.
To be precise, I required the WorkbenchWindow for obtaining MenuManager.
There is no getMenuManager method provided by IWorkbenchWindow.
Is there any other alternative, apart from WorkbenchWindow to access the MenuManager?
I am still looking out for some resolution. Please help.

Thanks & Regards,
Ajinkya

Why should you need the menu manager in a "global" context? You get it
provided at the places where you need it, e.g. in your ActionBarAdvisor
implementation. If you really need it elsewhere you could store a
reference in you ActionBarAdvisor implementation and could make this
globally available by whichever means of the language you like. But I
don't recommend this approach. I would recommend to hold in for a moment
and would ask myself, whether I really need this global variable. I
never missed the lack of it, I always use the manager from the local
context that provides it to me, e.g. in a view part you have access to
the view site and via this site you get getActionBars() which again
provides the menu manager to you.
