Hello,

I am trying to add a simple toolbar to my view.
I used the following howto http://www.vogella.com/articles/EclipseCommands/article.html#toolbar__viewtoolbar

But it seems that there is something going wrong. I don't know what, but there aren't any commands.
If I am using the normal toolbar referenced with toolbar:org.eclipse.ui.main.toolbar it works, but not with toolbar:[view id].

I can't figoure out, what I have passed out.

Hello John,

Which Version of Eclipse do you use? 4.x or 3.x?
And could you please share the xml definition of the menuContribution and Commands in your plugin.xml.

Or the whole content of the plugin.xml, if it is not that much.

With that information it is easier to analyse what goes wrong Wink

Best regards,

Simon

I am using Eclipse 3.4 and I attached my file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?eclipse version="3.4"?>
<plugin>
   <extension
         point="org.eclipse.ui.views">
      <view
            allowMultiple="false"
            class="executor.ui.SequencesView"
            id="executor.ui.SequencesView"
            name="Sequences"
            restorable="true">
      </view>
   </extension>
   <extension
         point="org.eclipse.ui.menus">
      <menuContribution
            allPopups="false"
            locationURI="toolbar:executor.ui.SequencesView">
         <toolbar
               id="executor.toolbar5">
            <command
                  commandId="command.create"
                  icon="icons/resume_co.gif"
                  label="test"
                  style="push">
            </command>
         </toolbar>
      </menuContribution>
   </extension>
   <extension
         point="org.eclipse.ui.commands">
      <command
            id="command.create"
            name="Execute Sequence">
      </command>
   </extension>
</plugin>

Hello John,

You could try this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?eclipse version="3.4"?>
<plugin>
   <extension
         point="org.eclipse.ui.views">
      <view
            allowMultiple="false"
            class="executor.ui.SequencesView"
            id="executor.ui.SequencesView"
            name="Sequences"
            restorable="true">
      </view>
   </extension>
   <extension
         point="org.eclipse.ui.menus">
      <menuContribution
            allPopups="false"
            locationURI="toolbar:executor.ui.SequencesView">
            <command
                  commandId="command.create"
                  icon="icons/resume_co.gif"
                  label="test"
                  style="push">
            </command>
      </menuContribution>
   </extension>
   <extension
         point="org.eclipse.ui.commands">
      <command
            id="command.create"
            name="Execute Sequence">
      </command>
   </extension>
   <extension
         point="org.eclipse.ui.handlers">
      <handler
            commandId="command.create">
         <class
               class="executor.ui.SequencesView.CommandHandler.YOURCOMMANDHANDLER">
         </class>
      </handler>
   </extension>
</plugin>


You have to define a Handler for a Command, which should be executed when the command is run.

And you do not have to use the <toolbar id="executor.toolbar5"> </toolbar>, but you can directly assign the command to the view´s toolbar.

Tell me if it works.

Best regards,

Simon

Thanks for the advice with the toolbar.
That was the mistake, now it works.

I didn't create a handler yet, because the symbol doesn't appear in the view toolbar.
