I'm really stumped; I've tried combing help and these newsgroups without
success. My problem is I want to have menus made visible on the top level
menu (i.e. workbench menu) when I have a certain perspective open (e.g. a
perspective associated with a plugin) and not visible when I do not have
the perspective open. I checked out the help (keep in mind I am using
Eclipse 3.01, though this appears very similar in the 3.1 help):
http://help.eclipse.org/help30/index.jsp (see Platform Plug-In Developer
Guide/ Programmer's guide/Advanced Workbench Concepts/Boolean expressions
and action filters)
and from the text it would appear that I need to use an enablement in the
actionset-action extension. I then need to set the "visibility" element
and a boolean pluginstate to be set to "activated" (by the way, what is
the definition of "activated"?). However, I can't add this visibility
element to my plugin.xml without an error stating this cannot be added?
