Bug 83059 [RCP] No enablement of perspective menu items
RCP application using factory methods to create menu items for Close Perspective , Close All Perspectives, Reset Perspective, etc. does not maintain enablement state of actions. This code in WorkbenchAdvisor's fillActionBars() method recreates the problem: //Use standard factory methods for actions IWorkbenchAction resetPersAction = ActionFactory.RESET_PERSPECTIVE.create(window); IWorkbenchAction closePersAction = ActionFactory.CLOSE_PERSPECTIVE.create(window); IWorkbenchAction closeAllPersAction = ActionFactory.CLOSE_ALL_PERSPECTIVES.create(window); //Create menu items IMenuManager mgr = configurer.getMenuManager(); MenuManager windowMenu = new MenuManager("&Window", IWorkbenchActionConstants.M_WINDOW); mgr.add(windowMenu); windowMenu.add(resetPersAction); windowMenu.add(closePersAction); windowMenu.add(closeAllPersAction); //Register global actions configurer.registerGlobalAction(resetPersAction); configurer.registerGlobalAction(closePersAction); configurer.registerGlobalAction(closeAllPersAction); I have posted this issue to the RCP news group and received a reply stating that the enablement of these actions should be handled by the RCP developer. However, the ActionFactory API suggests that these actions maintain their enablement state.
