How to programatically customize perspective [message #329904]

Hi all,
I've got an workbench-based application that uses it's own perspective.

I'm struggling in how to hide a number of main menubar menus
programatically. I know I can go into "customize perspective" and hide
the commands individually, but I can't redistribute these settings - I'd
really like to be able to do it programatically.

Can anybody help me out?

Particularly I'd like to be able to hide the "External tools", "Search",
and "Resource navigation" command groups.

thanks in advance,
Ian

I think your options are:

1) use http://wiki.eclipse.org/Product_Customization to remove the
actionSet definitions

2) use activities/capabilities to hide those action sets (there should
be a large number of articles about this).

3) if you're in an RCP app, have your
org.eclipse.ui.application.WorkbenchWindowAdvisor use
org.eclipse.ui.IWorkbenchPage.hideActionSet(String) to remove those
action sets.
