Getting rid of “Convert Line Delimiters to”

If you're having dependencies to org.eclipse.ui.ide and you launch your RCP you'll automatically get an entry in the menu-bar that is called "Convert Line Delimiters to" and also "Last Edit Location", although you don't need it. To remove this entries place the following lines in your ApplicationActionBarAdvisor

PLAIN TEXT
JAVA:
  1. ActionSetRegistry reg = WorkbenchPlugin.getDefault().getActionSetRegistry();
  2. IActionSetDescriptor[] actionSets = reg.getActionSets();
  3. // removing annoying gotoLastPosition Message.
  4. String actionSetId = "org.eclipse.ui.edit.text.actionSet.navigation"; //$NON-NLS-1$
  5. for (int i = 0; i <actionSets.length; i++)
  6. {
  7.     if (!actionSets[i].getId().equals(actionSetId))
  8.         continue;
  9.         IExtension ext = actionSets[i].getConfigurationElement()
  10.             .getDeclaringExtension();
  11.         reg.removeExtension(ext, new Object[] { actionSets[i] });
  12. }
  13. // Removing convert line delimiters menu.
  14. actionSetId = "org.eclipse.ui.edit.text.actionSet.convertLineDelimitersTo"; //$NON-NLS-1$
  15. for (int i = 0; i <actionSets.length; i++)
  16. {
  17.     if (!actionSets[i].getId().equals(actionSetId))
  18.         continue;
  19.     IExtension ext = actionSets[i].getConfigurationElement()
  20.             .getDeclaringExtension();
  21.    reg.removeExtension(ext, new Object[] { actionSets[i] });
  22. }

  2. Hi,

    thanks for this one - worked great. I enhanced it to get rid of “open file” as well and changed it so that walked only once through the loop. Takes about 15 millisec for three ids - so I think its quite fast :)

    And it seems to work in Eclipse 3.2 as well.

    Cheers,
    Christoph

  3. thanks.
    your tips really help me!
    finally I could remove “org.eclipse.ui.WorkingSetActionSet”

  4. This was very helpful thanks.

    I refactored it to avoid the duplication (DRY) as follows:

    private void removeExtraneousActions() {

    ActionSetRegistry reg = WorkbenchPlugin.getDefault().getActionSetRegistry();

    // removing gotoLastPosition message
    removeStandardAction(reg, “org.eclipse.ui.edit.text.actionSet.navigation”);

    // Removing “Convert Line Delimiters To” menu
    removeStandardAction(reg, “org.eclipse.ui.edit.text.actionSet.convertLineDelimitersTo”);
    }

    private void removeStandardAction(ActionSetRegistry reg, String actionSetId) {

    IActionSetDescriptor[] actionSets = reg.getActionSets();

    for (int i = 0; i

  5. Ah, there is some filtering going on.

    The implementationof “removeStandardAction” is like the original for loop.

    Have fun

  10. The actionsetid can be found in the plugin “org.eclipse.ui.ide” as extension at the “org.eclipse.ui.actionSets” extensionpoint. Its id is “org.eclipse.ui.actionSet.openFiles”

  11. Hi!

    I want to make better my SQL experience.
    I red that many SQL books and would like to
    read more about SQL for my work as oracle database manager.

    What can you recommend?

    Thanks,
    Werutz

  12. Improved to make single pass through actions and process list of unwanted actions:
    In ApplicationActionBarAdvisor.makeActions add
    …
    ActionSetRegistry reg = WorkbenchPlugin.getDefault().getActionSetRegistry();
    IActionSetDescriptor[] actionSets = reg.getActionSets();
    ArrayList unwantedIDs = new ArrayList();
    unwantedIDs.add(”org.eclipse.ui.edit.text.actionSet.navigation”);
    unwantedIDs.add(”org.eclipse.ui.edit.text.actionSet.convertLineDelimitersTo”);
    unwantedIDs.add(”org.eclipse.ui.actionSet.openFiles”);

    removeUnwantedAction(reg, actionSets, unwantedIDs);
    …

    @SuppressWarnings(”restriction”)
    private void removeUnwantedAction(ActionSetRegistry reg, IActionSetDescriptor[] actionSets, List unwantedIDs)
    {
    for (int i = 0; i

  13. For some reason my post did not get the method:

    private void removeUnwantedAction(ActionSetRegistry reg, IActionSetDescriptor[] actionSets, List unwantedIDs)
    {
    for (int i = 0; i

  14. Darn, the post needs to HTML encode the less than char.

    private void removeUnwantedAction(ActionSetRegistry reg, IActionSetDescriptor[] actionSets, List unwantedIDs)
    {
    for (int i = 0; i < actionSets.length; i++)
    {
    String actionID = actionSets[i].getId();
    if (unwantedIDs.contains(actionID))
    {
    //System.out.println(”ApplicationActionBarAdvisor removeUnwantedAction removing: ” + actionID);
    IExtension ext = actionSets[i].getConfigurationElement().getDeclaringExtension();
    reg.removeExtension(ext, new Object[] {actionSets[i]});
    }
    }
    }

  15. You only need to add this to plugin.xml :

  16. Finally :)

    [extension
    point=”org.eclipse.ui.activities”\]
    [activity
    description=”Disable plug-in contributions”
    id=”myRcp.app.ID.disableEclipseIDEContribs”
    name=”DisableIDEContribs”\]
    [/activity]
    [activityPatternBinding
    activityId=”myRcp.app.ID.disableEclipseIDEContribs”
    pattern=”org\.eclipse\.ui\.editors/org\.eclipse\.ui\.edit\.text\.delimiter.*”]
    [/activityPatternBinding]
