Curtis, 

My test of this plugin looks good. :)
 perspective, views, file->new, and launch configuration hides/shows
as activities are disabled/enabled.

thank you.

I updated the Hyades activities plugin with the following changes/additions:

- Simplified activities; the three separate test activities have been combined
into one "Testing" activity. 
- Fixed the matching patterns to include the right plugins; this should
resolve the problems Bianca found. 
- Renamed category from "Hyades Activities" to "Problem
Determination". User should never see the word Hyades; if you can
think of any alternatives, please let me know. 
- Added descriptions to category and activities. 

Here's what it currently looks like: 

   Category: Problem Determination 
   Description: Use tools to find problems in your applications.

   Activity: Profiling and Logging 
   Description: Profile applications and analyze various types of
logs. 

   Activity: Testing 
   Description: Perform manual and automated tests on your applications
and websites. 


Please review and make suggestions as appropriate.

Eugene, 

I did some tests on whether the right activities shows/hides when enabled/disabled.
here is a matrix from the results:

I also did a regression test on JUnit when its enabled and it passes.  More
regression tests need to follow. 

I am not sure if all hyades activities should be enabled at the beginning
since when eclipse is started the first time, as many activities as possible
should be disable to ensure its in the simplest and most manageable state.

Hope this helps. 

Bianca

Hi. 

Eclipse Activities is a way to logically group identifiers(view/editor/command/preference
page/perspective, etc) which can be enabled or disabled by user. To make
use of Eclipse activities, I created a plugin with activities defined in
its plugin.xml file for you to try out. 

Detail about activities -> http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/platform-ui-home/activities/index.html

The activities are categorized as "Profile/logging/Test"(We need
a better name for this, suggestion?) and there are 4 activities under this
category: 
- Profile and Logging 
- Hyades JUnit Test 
- Manual Test 
- URL Test 

Currently, their pattern bindings are based on the plugin dependency stack
for each activities. 

They are all enabled by default, as in my opinion users pulling Hyades
should expect the features to show up. Comment? 

Please extract the attached plugin(org.eclipse.hyades.activites) into plugin
folder and you should be able to configure the activities under Window->Configure
Activities(for IES build before  20040521) or Window->Peference->Workbench->Activity
Configuration (for IES build after 20040521) 


Would you please verify if your component is function with the Activities
define and contact me for any change require? 

To Do Items: 
1. Discussion on naming the category 
2. Component owner to verify the activities show up correctly.
3. Create cvs module org.eclipse.hyades.activities once we settle on the
activities definition. 

Comment and suggestion are welcome. 

Regards,
