Re: [platform-ui-dev] Accessibility of Workbench toolbar

Ajay,

It is only possible to contribute to the main toolbar through action sets, 
or through editor action contributions (i.e. from the active editor).
With the new actionSetPartAssociations extension point in 2.0, you can 
associate action sets with views and editors so that they appear when the 
view or editor is active, if not already visible in the perspective.

The main reason for using action sets over programmatic action 
contributions is to avoid having to activate plugins in order for the 
actions to appear.
There are no plans to change this behaviour.  Please file a feature 
request if this doesn't meet your needs.

Nick

Hi,
I was wondering whether is it really a good idea to restrict the 
user from contributing to the workbenchs main tool bar 
dynamically/programatically.
I know its rather easy to do the same using the actionSets 
extension point. but u need to understand that in many cases this 
might not be the ideal solution.
I have been going thru many articles and news groups posts (infatc 
i have myself posted queries..) trying to know as to how to 
achieve this.. nobody seems to know how to do this.
Im presently using WSAD 4.0.3 which uses Eclipse 1.0. i dont think 
there have been any major changes to Eclipse in this respect.. Cud 
any one please tell me y is it not possible to add a tool bar item 
to the workbenchs main tool bar dynamically/programatically. If 
this can be done (i havent found any article which supports this) 
then pl do let me know how. there are many people out there who 
are quite intereseted to know abt it.
thanx
Ajay
