is it possible to disable / not show a wizard under eclipse
For example : File -> New -> WizardName
Same way : File -> New -> Other -> Select a wizard -> Wizard Category Name -> WizardName
I can make the wizard not shown in Project Explorer view via propertyTesters.
But I want to disable a wizard under File -> New -> WizardName ...
How can we do this ?
I do think you could hide your wizard using the Activities Framework. The org.eclipse.ui.activities extension point allows you to define a set of UI contributions that can be collectively shown or hidden. An extension can also be created for a single UI contribution, like your wizard.
You simply define an activity element using the extension, giving it an id and a name. You can also attach an enabledWhen element to the activity, allowing you to control its visibility using any core expression, including the test element which allows you to incorporate a property tester.
<activity
id="your.plugin.id.activities.controlwizardvisiblity"
name="Control My Wizard Visibility">
<enabledWhen>
<test
property="your.property.tester.info">
</test>
</enabledWhen>
</activity>
Once your activity is defined, you can attach UI contributions to it using an activityPatternBinding element. The binding references the activity id created above and then specifies a pattern attribute in the format of:
your.plugin.id/your.contribution.id
The pattern can be a regular expression matching many UI contributions, or if you set the isEqualityPattern="false" the pattern can directly specify a single plugin id/contribution id combination. In your case, that's probably what you want to do, and it would look something like this.
<activityPatternBinding
activityId="your.plugin.id.activities.controlwizardvisiblity"
isEqualityPattern="false"
pattern="your.plugin.id/your.wizard.id">
</activityPatternBinding>
