I have a menu and toolbar that are defined in plugin.xml and a class that implements a source provider by extending AbstractSourceProvider. The menu is properly hidden but the toolbar with exactly the same visibleWhen is still visible. Since the menu is properly hidden, I'm fairly confident that the source provider is working correctly.
Anyone see why this declaration is not hiding the whole toolbar?
<menuContribution
allPopups="false"
locationURI="menu:org.eclipse.ui.main.menu?before=Window">
<menu
label="Data Manager"
mnemonic="D">
<command
command1
</command>
<command
command2
</command>
<visibleWhen
checkEnabled="false">
<with
variable="datamanager.handlers.ShowActions">
<equals
value="showActions">
</equals>
</with>
</visibleWhen>
</menu>
</menuContribution>
<menuContribution
allPopups="false"
locationURI="toolbar:org.eclipse.ui.main.toolbar">
<toolbar
id="datamanager.toolbar1">
<command
command3
</command>
<command
command 4
</command>
<visibleWhen
checkEnabled="false">
<with
variable="datamanager.handlers.ShowActions">
<equals
value="showActions">
</equals>
</with>
</visibleWhen>
</toolbar>
</menuContribution>
This looks like the problem described in Eclipse bug 201589 which has been open for rather a long time.
