Hi
I am working on eclipse RCP Product and in my product I want to remove some unnecessary menu items. Say I want to remove the New option from the file menu. How do I do it programatically. I want to write a code in the activator(or somewhere else) that removes those menu items which I don't want.

It's not clear if you talk about an e4 RCP or one that runs on compat
layer!.

In e4 RCP you contribute a Processor and walk through the
Application-Model and set MenuItems to toBeRenderer=false

I am talking for one that runs through compatibility layer. Currently what I am doing is I am specifying the actionsetid say "org.eclipse.cheatsheet.actionset".
I go through all the actionsets available and then when the id match is found I remove it. doing so I am able to remove it but is there any other way. Besides some exceptions are generated by doing so. And checking this way for each actionset is time consuming.
Is there any other way besides the actionset way?
