Disable a contributed Activity [message #336446]

Hello.

I'm building an application above Eclipse Platform (3.4.2) and Subversive
(0.7.8) plugin.

I'm using the "SVN activity" contributed by subversive plugin. This plugin
has defined it as "enabled by default", so when I launch my application,
the GUI is contributed by subversive actions.
I'd like to have "SVN activity" disabled by default, is this possible
without patching the subversive plugin ?

Thank you for your help.

I don't believe there is a way to do this declaratively.

Probably the best workaround would be to create a "small" plugin and use
org.eclipse.ui.startup to run some early startup code. Use
org.eclipse.ui.IStartup on a class explicitly, don't depend on the
legacy plugin startup behaviour.

Then in your earlyStartup() method you can programmatically disable the
activity using the IActivityManager (I think).

You can use UIJob to run your job in the UI thread (or asyncExec(*) as
mentioned by the javadoc, but UIJob is preferred)
