Add Eclipse default menu items in Run Menu Item

I have an RCP application with my own custom perspective. When I am in eclipse debug perspective I see all the options under Run Menu, but when I switch to my own perspective I see only "External Tools" under Run menu. How can I enable all the options to be available in Run menu in my custom perspective as well

Here is how it looks in Debug Perspective, I want all these options to be available in my custom perspective

Solution

  • In your perspective factory add the action sets defined by the debug plugin for these actions:

    @Override
public void createInitialLayout(IPageLayout layout) {

    ...

    layout.addActionSet(IDebugUIConstants.LAUNCH_ACTION_SET);
    layout.addActionSet(IDebugUIConstants.DEBUG_ACTION_SET);
}

    IDebugUIConstants is org.eclipse.debug.ui.IDebugUIConstants in the org.eclipse.debug.ui plug-in which you will need to add to your plug-ins dependencies.

    If your perspective has already been opened you will need to do a perspective reset to get the new definition.
