customize workbench with compatibility layer [message #1603781]

Hi,

is it possible to customize the workbench using the compatibility layer? Until now (rcp 3.7) we used

WorkbenchWindowAdvisor#createWindowContents(Shell)

to customize our workbench - the method is now deprecated and does not get called anymore. Eclipse wiki states that one has to do customizations in the application model, which, AFAIK, I do not have to have using the compatibility layer.
I did not yet find any hint how I could do those customizations using the compatibility layer - has anyone ever done something like that?

It's possible to get the model using the getService() calls from the various E3.x objects. For example, you can get the MApplication element via:

MApplication app = (MApplication)PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getService(MApplication.class)

You can similarly obtain the MPart for an IViewPart or IEditorPart.

You do need to be careful though as the E3.x compat layer assumes that the underlying E4 model belongs to it and it may well overwrite changes you make to model.
