I am trying to hide some of netbeans default menu items from my RCP application which is a mavenized nbm project.
I've added these items in layer.xml file in my Branding module. but it seems application totally ignoring the layer.xml file.
here is a snippet of layer.xml in branding module:
<filesystem>
<folder name="File">
<file name="org-netbeans-modules-editor-ExportHtmlAction.shadow_hidden"/>
<file name="org-openide-actions-SaveAsAction.shadow_hidden"/>
</folder>
...
</filesystem>
Note: Manifest file in branding module contains the OpenIDE-Module-Layer property which is pointing to the layer.xml OpenIDE-Module-Layer: com/mypackage/layer.xml
how can i find if there is anything missing in my configuration or other places ?
How can I make sure that this file (layer.xml) is loaded by application ?
the module was Autoload and i think this was the problem. I removed the autload flag and problom has been resolved.
