Good resources about implementing Capabilities/Activities? [message #332199]

Hi there...

As part of the Galileo release train, we're supposed to be implementing
Capabilities/Activities for our various projects. After doing a couple of
days of hunting the web, I've not really found a great introduction on how
to use them.

I've created a simple one to hide a chunk of functionality, but when I tried
to implement the second one I discovered that maybe not all components are
activity-aware? Are there examples of how to make, for example, a custom
wizard mechanism, activity-aware and close down the plug-ins filtered out by
disabled activities?

And are there examples of how to handle triggers? So if there's a particular
state met by the workspace, we can trigger an activity to become
automagically active?

Thanks

There is a general discussion plus links to the Javadocs at
http://help.eclipse.org/ganymede/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclips e.platform.doc.isv/reference/misc/runtime-options.html

To make new functionality also activity aware, check out uses of
org.eclipse.ui.activities.WorkbenchActivityHelper

I wasn't able to find much more than the javadocs and my own searches
through the source.

Hey Paul...

Thanks for the link and the suggestion.

I did find one article online
( http://pookzilla.net/wp/2006/10/context-capability-and-persp ective/) that
helped me out a bit, but I'm still trying to figure out the whole activity
trigger thing.
