[platform-update-dev] Re: hiding update manager menu (was: eclipse insta

Peter,

Yes, you can use an activity to suppress it.  The example in the bugzilla
is a bit too harsh.  It suppresses all org.eclipse.update.ui contributions,
which has some side effects.   You may want to use patterns that match
explicitely what you want to disable.  Here are some examples that disable
the update menu items and the install/update preference page.

   <extension
         point="org.eclipse.ui.activities">
      <activity
            name="Eclipse Update Manager"
            id="activity.eclipseUpdateManager">
      </activity>
      <activityPatternBinding
            activityId="activity.eclipseUpdateManager"
            pattern=
"org\.eclipse\.update\.ui/org\.eclipse\.update\.ui\.updateMenu">
      </activityPatternBinding>
      <activityPatternBinding
            activityId="activity.eclipseUpdateManager"
            pattern=
"org\.eclipse\.update\.ui/org\.eclipse\.update\.ui\.configManager">
      </activityPatternBinding>
      <activityPatternBinding
            activityId="activity.eclipseUpdateManager"
            pattern=
"org\.eclipse\.update\.ui/org\.eclipse\.update.ui\.newUpdates">
      </activityPatternBinding>
      <activityPatternBinding
            activityId="activity.eclipseUpdateManager"
            pattern=
"org\.eclipse\.update\.ui/org\.eclipse\.update\.internal\.ui\.preferences\.MainPreferencePage"
>
      </activityPatternBinding>
      <activityPatternBinding
            activityId="activity.eclipseUpdateManager"
            pattern="org\.eclipse\.update\.scheduler/.*">
      </activityPatternBinding>

   </extension>
