[platform-ui-dev] Roles and activites

[Jared Burns <jaredburns@xxxxxxx>]

I'm trying to define my own activites, but I'm not having much luck. I removed 
the "Debugging" activity that's currently provided in org.eclipse.ui (I 
assume it's just there to play) and defined Debugging in the 
org.eclipse.debug.ui plug-in and Debugging Java in org.eclipse.jdt.debug.ui. 
I provided activity bindings to link these activities to org.eclipse.debug.* 
and org.eclipse.jdt.debug.* respectively. And I also provided role bindings 
to link these activities to the Java and PDE roles currently provided by the 
UI plug-in. The applicable excerpts from my plugin.xml files follow.

When I launch my runtime-workspace, my activities appear in the dialog under 
the Help menu, but disabling them doesn't have any effect. If I close Eclipse 
and relaunch, the activities reappear in the "enabled" bucket in the dialog.

Is there a bug here or am I doing something totally wrong? Also, I don't see 
anywhere to define your active roles. Am I missing something or is there no 
UI for configuring this yet?

Thanks,
- Jared
