I am developing a plug-in. On clicking a button, I'd like to call the save method of Eclipse or call the save button on Eclipse toolbar. What is the way to do it? org.eclipse.ui.PlatformUI.getWorkbench().saveAll(..) should do the trick. If you want to save the active editor, please try IWorkbenchPage page = PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActivePage(); IEditorPart editor = page.getActiveEditor(); page.saveEditor(editor, true /* confirm */); Note that the elements in the navigation path may be null. I use this to save dirty editors for one or more projects: //Save all

I would like to be able to completely remove menu items upon startup of my eclipse plugin application. What I want to do is be able to add these menu items later depending on business logic based off of the user's actions. Is there a way to do this? I've looked at using contributions, but I feel like it's not going to be exactly what I want. If it can do what I need it to do, how do I go about using them? Thanks in advance for any assistance. Rich Seller You can obtain the Menu from the MenuManager and then modify the contributions. This snippet shows how to access the menu manager and remove

When developing an RCP application against a target platform, I ( and others ) often come across dependencies which need to be added from the Eclipse releases software site. Whenever a plug-in is included in my IDE, but not in my target platform, and I try to run the application from the product definition I get a warning screen, informing me that such and such bundle cannot be resolved. "No problem, just add the feature containing the plug-in from the Eclipse download site to the target platform, and add the needed plug-in to the Plug-in Project / Feature Project, whathaveyou...." But, AFAIK,

I am getting workspace by calling ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace().getRoot() . How I can list all files(IFile) recursively in the workspace. The root, projects and folders in a workspace all implement the IContainer interface. Call IContainer.members() to get all the resources in the container. Something like: void processContainer(IContainer container) throws CoreException { IResource [] members = container.members(); for (IResource member : members) { if (member instanceof IContainer) processContainer((IContainer)member); else if (member instanceof IFile) processFile((IFile)member); } } 来源：

I'm working in a RCP application and I have a view which data model are instances of IResources. When popup menu is visible I find commands contributed by others plugins I would like to remove.

I am displaying a list of files; i.e. xls, doc, pdf, odt etc., in my Java application (Eclipse RCP). When the user clicks on the file, I want to launch the appropriate (according to what the OS thinks) native application, just like it happens in Windows Explorer or the Finder. And while I am here: It would be nice to also display the same icons that Finder or Explorer use for the different file types. Is there a library or Eclipse plugin for this? Joseph Gordon What you want is java.awt.Desktop : Desktop.getDesktop().open( file ); I have found an API in Eclipse's SWT now that seems to do the
