Description Tim Myer CLA 2007-05-30 19:01:03 EDT 
This is for an RCP application.  We would like the ability to disable some of the actions contributed to the Perspective Bar popup menu.  In particular, these Actions are "Other..." (in the Open Perspective Menu), Customize, Save As and Close (in the context menu popup for an active Perspective).  There is currently a very clunky workaround to do this programmatically by overriding the PerspectiveBarManager in the WindowAdvisor, but this requires reflective calls and can still cause errors.  We do not plan to support these features for our users, we find that they detract from the simplicity of our UI, and the "Other..." contribution potentially exposes ActionSets that we are masking from our users (since it is possible to open even masked Perspectives from the Choose Perspective dialog).

The PresentationAPI has been deprecated with the Eclipse 4.x release and it has been replaced with the CSS engine. I therefore close this bugs as WONTFIX. In case your bug report is still valid for the Eclipse 4.4 release, please open a new bug report for it.
