[eclipse-dev] Hiding view using activity

[Muhammad Umair Sair <umair_sair@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I am trying to hide a view using activity on Eclipse Oxygen.1a but it still appears. However, it is absent in Window > Show View.

I am trying following simple activity.

    <extension

          point="org.eclipse.ui.activities">

       <activity

             id="com.my.plugin.hide.myView"

             name="Hide my view">

       </activity>

       <activityPatternBinding

             activityId="com.my.plugin.hide.myView"

             isEqualityPattern="true"

             pattern="com.my.plugin/com.my.plugin.ui.myView">

       </activityPatternBinding>

    </extension>

But if I create activity like below, it works on eclipse 3.8 but not on Oxygen, instead view opens with error part and exception in it.

       <activity

             id="com.my.plugin.hide.myView"

             name="Hide my view">

          <enabledWhen>

             <with

                   variable="activeWorkbenchWindow">

             </with>

          </enabledWhen>

       </activity>

Following is the first stack of exception.

java.lang.Exception

at org.eclipse.ui.internal.ViewReference.createErrorPart(ViewReference.java:112)

Am I doing something wrong?

Regards,
