I'd like to simplify our activity declarations that currently include

activity1 - disabled by default

<activityPatternBinding activityId="activity1"
pattern="org\.eclipse\.ui\.ide/.*"/>

activity 2 - enabled by default, to show some selected contribution from
ui.ide:

<activityPatternBinding activityId="activity2"
pattern=" org\.eclipse\.ui\.ide/org\.eclipse\.ui\.wizards\.new\.projec t "/>

I'd rather like to have just one binding that means hide everything
except the following ...

something like :
<activityPatternBinding activityId="activity1"
pattern=" org\.eclipse\.ui\.ide/.*(?!org\.eclipse\.ui\.wizards\.new\.p roject) "/>

which isn't working for me, so I'd like to know if it just can't be made
to work ...

cheers
