Application Menu Binding in e4 RCP app for Mac OS

For my RCP app, I am not using any menu. When built for Mac OS, there appears a default menu.

About, Preferences and Quit etc.

How to map default commands to these menu items?

I just want to keep menu for Mac not for other OSs.

In Application.e4xmi,I have created commands for with ids org.eclipse.ui.~ so on. Should I just need to create HandledMenuItem in Menu contributions? and map the commands with it? Or do I need to add menus for Trimmed Window?

Solution

  • You just need to define commands and handlers. The commands must use standard ids known by Eclipse. These are:

    • org.eclipse.ui.file.exit for 'Quit'
    • org.eclipse.ui.help.aboutAction for 'About'
    • org.eclipse.ui.window.preferences for 'Preferences'
