508 Following is an almost useless defect report, but it contains all of the information we have. After using the 508 build for some time (and exiting and restarting at least once), we discovered the following text in the console (we don't know exactly when it occurs) (paraphrased error messages) Invalid Menu Extension (path invalid) referencesSubMenu (many messages like the above) I thought this was trivially reproducable, but now cannot make it occur at all. Will annotate the defect report with steps when (if) I discover them.
I got this to happen again. The following was printed to the console at startup. (sorry, still no test case) Invalid Menu Extension (Path is invalid): org.eclipse.jdt.ui.actions.OpenJavaSearchPage Invalid Menu Extension (Path is invalid): implementorsSubMenu Invalid Menu Extension (Path is invalid): org.eclipse.jdt.ui.actions.ImplementorsInWorkingSet Invalid Menu Extension (Path is invalid): org.eclipse.jdt.ui.actions.ImplementorsInWorkspace Invalid Menu Extension (Path is invalid): declarationsSubMenu Invalid Menu Extension (Path is invalid): org.eclipse.jdt.ui.actions.DeclarationsInWorkingSet Invalid Menu Extension (Path is invalid): org.eclipse.jdt.ui.actions.DeclarationsInHierarchy Invalid Menu Extension (Path is invalid): org.eclipse.jdt.ui.actions.DeclarationsInWorkspace Invalid Menu Extension (Path is invalid): writeAccessSubMenu Invalid Menu Extension (Path is invalid): org.eclipse.jdt.ui.actions.WriteAccessInWorkingSet Invalid Menu Extension (Path is invalid): org.eclipse.jdt.ui.actions.WriteAccessInHierarchy Invalid Menu Extension (Path is invalid): org.eclipse.jdt.ui.actions.WriteAccessInWorkspace Invalid Menu Extension (Path is invalid): readAccessSubMenu Invalid Menu Extension (Path is invalid): org.eclipse.jdt.ui.actions.ReadAccessInWorkingSet Invalid Menu Extension (Path is invalid): org.eclipse.jdt.ui.actions.ReadAccessInHierarchy Invalid Menu Extension (Path is invalid): org.eclipse.jdt.ui.actions.ReadAccessInWorkspace Invalid Menu Extension (Path is invalid): referencesSubMenu Invalid Menu Extension (Path is invalid): org.eclipse.jdt.ui.actions.ReferencesInWorkingSet Invalid Menu Extension (Path is invalid): org.eclipse.jdt.ui.actions.ReferencesInHierarchy Invalid Menu Extension (Path is invalid): org.eclipse.jdt.ui.actions.ReferencesInWorkspace
Created attachment 796 [details] workspace.zip
Use the workspace I have zipped & attached to reproduce this problem. I have only tested this with the 20020508 build.
Here is a theory. These actions are contributed in action set part association. What we observerd before is that an action set part association can get's lost (e.g. F3 no longer works in the editor, since the Source menu got lost). There is a bug against the workbench on this. Once the actions set is "lost" the corresponding menu slots are missing and when search wants to dynamically update the menus these slits are missing and you get the exception. When this happens again please open the menus and verify that the Java search actions are contributed, same for the Source menu.
hmm, the fact that this problem is reproducable in a particular workspace doesn't support my theory. We should try with the workspace.
This is caused by a workbench bug which is set to FIX LATER (after 2.0). The suggested solution is to copy the Search menu definition in the plug-in which adds items to it. This currently affects Java and Help. This must be well documented since other contributors *will* stumble over this too. I will provide the following (final) menu in the Search plug-in: <!-- =================================================================== --> <!-- Search Menu --> <!-- =================================================================== --> <menu id="org.eclipse.search.menu" label="%searchMenu.label" path="navigate"> <groupMarker name="internalDialogGroup"/> <!-- not to be used by clients --> <groupMarker name="dialogGroup"/> <!-- to be used by clients --> <separator name="contextMenuActionsGroup"/> </menu>
Is this really bug really fixed? I just failed making a contribution to the Search menu as described at http://wiki.eclipse.org/Menu_Contributions/Search_Menu . Later I tried the workaround with actionSets as described at http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php?t=msg&goto=648585&S=0b4e3effd0f243c7f18afd151cd53952#msg_648585 and finally I succeeded with the workaround that is still active in current JDT 3.6: By redefining the whole Search menu.
(In reply to comment #7) > Is this really bug really fixed? This bug was about the issue in JDT UI's menu additions and this got fixed. The thing you refer to is not a real working example as it says: "Possible Java Search Menu Example". This example assumes that Search switched to the new menu contribution story which it didn't so far (see bug 213385).
