These sound like bugs - please log a problem report to Bugzilla so that we 
can follow up on them. I suspect the menu problem is a filtering that 
needs to be applied.

Hello, 

My apologies for posting to the dev list, but this seems to be the only 
place where I can get help with Activities-related issues. I tried working 
with activities in M6, the following are menu-related questions: 

1. It seems that there is no way to hide a menu from the menubar, using 
activities. For example, I cannot remove "Search" from the menubar with 
the following patterns: 
      <activityPatternBinding 
            activityId="my.activities.ide" 
            pattern="org.eclipse.search/org.eclipse.search.menu"> 
      </activityPatternBinding> 
      <activityPatternBinding 
            activityId="my.activities.ide" 
            pattern="org.eclipse.help.ide/org.eclipse.search.menu"> 
      </activityPatternBinding> 
      <activityPatternBinding 
            activityId="my.activities.ide" 
            pattern="org.eclipse.jdt.ui/org.eclipse.search.menu"> 
      </activityPatternBinding> 
While I do succeed to remove certain menu items from within the "Search" 
menu, for example by the following: 
        <activityPatternBinding 
            activityId="my.activities.ide" 
            pattern="org.eclipse.search/org.eclipse.search.OpenFileSearchPage"> 
      </activityPatternBinding>
Is there any way to hide the whole menu, using activities (I'd like to get 
rid of "Project" menu)? 

2. When menu item is included into some disabled activity (like 
OpenFileSearchPage above),  the item doesn't appear at all. When I enable 
the activity, the item is still hidden. Only after workbench restart with 
the activity enabled, the menu item gets back. Is that the way things are 
supposed to be? The same also occurs in the opposite direction: I open 
workbench with enabled activity -> menu item appears. I uncheck the 
activity (via Window->Activity Configuration) - the menu item isn't hidden 
until workbench restart. 

Thanks a lot for any help!
