IHandlerService with Compatibility-Layer [message #1385246]

Hello,

I try to run an old e3-application with the compatibility layer of e4. After doing some code changes most things seem to work correct. The only problem I have is the ICommandService.

When I want to exeute a command from the ICommandService, the execution fails because there is no handler available in the command. In this topic this problem have been discussed but I didn't read a solution.

The only think I don't know is why isEnabled() and getHandler() return false and null.

This could be solved, if I set the Handler manually into the Command. Then isEnabled() and getHandle() work correct. Is there a reason, why the handler is not set for the command?

Is there any other solution available? Setting the handler manually seem to be a bit strange.

As I can read in the FAQ:
Quote:

Why does org.eclipse.core.commands.Command's isEnabled() and getHandler() not work?

Command's isEnabled() and getHandler() and are specific to Eclipse 3.x based API and are not supported in Eclipse 4. Hence they will always return false or null in Eclipse 4 applications. Applications should use the EHandlerService to query against a command.

As I'm running an e3-application with the compatibility layer in e4, I don't have an EHandlerService. I tried to get it from the IEclipseContext

IEclipseContext serviceContext = EclipseContextFactory.getServiceContext(Activator.getDefault().getBundle().getBundleContext());
serviceContext.get(EHandlerService.class);

but the EHandlerService is not available. It does not get instantiated anytime.
