It is more that you should not include net.refractions.udig.catalog.ui =
if you don't want what it is offering.
Rather than change a copy of the source code; eclipse does offer a way =
to "hide" things. It is just advanced because all of eclipse is about =
adding stuff (removing things is actually against the rules).
- =
http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-Plug-in-architecture/plugin_archit=
ecture.html
The easy way to turn things off is for uDig to advertise an "actionSet" =
controlling the functionality; indeed the data menu may already be =
controlled by an action set; if not we would happily accept a patch =
placing it under actionSet control.
Indeed the data menu is controlled by an ActionSet =
"net.refractions.udig.catalog.ui.data.menu"and this is on Page 18 of the =
Custom App tutorial. Just don't include this actionset in your =
perspective and this menu will not be added.
The hard way (and more general purpose) suitable for projects that are =
not quite as open as uDig is to make use of an advanced eclipse Platform =
facility called activities.
Remember that when stuff is connected up - we make use of the Platform =
class to ask for all the extensions (in the case of the data menu it =
would be the eclipse menu system doing the processing).
The actual data structure (IExtensionRegistery.) the platform provides:
- is based on the plugin.xml file
- merged with any plugin.xml files added by a "fragment" (consider it a =
hot patch)
- modified by magic (activities)
Activities allows you to fliter or strip out plugin contributions:

.isv/reference/extension-points/org_eclipse_ui_activities.html
(And yes I only know this because I teach this stuff; I have never had a =
cause to use it on any of my own applications).
