RE: [cross-project-issues-dev] Europa impressions (screenshots)
|
Hi All,
We use the early startup infrastructure enable users to run
scripts on startup so that they can configure the workspace. This is something
we use in our own scripts, so it is a useful feature. With regards to the
Monkey top-level menu, we use that as a convenient place to allow people to
access scripts they have run, since they may be triggered via key commands.
These actions do not generally do the same things a "New" or "Import" wizard
would do, so placing them there would likely be more confusing than helpful. One
idea we've had is to contribute scripts to existing menus and toolbars, but
there isn't an obvious place to relocate the scripts menu
wholesale.
Other suggestions are appreciated. Our plugins are quite
small, so the hope is that our contribution to startup times would be
negligible, but we will check to make sure.
Best,
Ingo
Interesting. I see that Buckminster and Monkey still contribute
a top-level menu for every perspective, with only a few items. There must
be a better place for you to place your actions, don't you think? For example,
in the case of Eclipse Monkey, have you considered using the New or Import
wizard infrastructure?
Also, for those who register early startup
runnables: Why do you have to do this eagerly? You are causing unnecessary
long startup times.
