Remove Install New Software from help menu (p2)

I have a question for a RCP project in Eclipse where is installed p2.

I have the help menu with "install new software" and "check for updates" options and I have to remove the "install new software" option from the product.

Can I do that? And if so, how?

I tried to look for an answer in the web but I didn't find anything.

Features that I have in the project are:

  1. org.eclipse.equinox.p2.rcp.feature
  2. org.eclipse.rcp
  3. org.test (my feature)
Solution

  • It was simple. If you insert the help menu by code in ApplicationActionBarAdvisor, p2 fills the menu automatically. To create a custom help menu without p2 intromissions you must go in plugin.xml, in the extensions tab and add into the menu extension a menu 'Help' and also add to it the command 'org.eclipse.equinox.p2.ui.sdk.update'
