image showing missing pulldown menu arrow
Better Description: In Indigo and previous, in the C/C++ perspective, a toolbar icon for PTP's PLDT (red-circle-arrow) has a pulldown arrow next to it, and extension points in PLDT can contribute menu items for different types of analysis. In Juno, the pulldown arrow never appears, so there is no way to access the analysis actions. You can see the pulldown menu arrow in Indigo, in the toolbar here: http://help.eclipse.org/indigo/topic/org.eclipse.ptp.pldt.doc.user/html/images/mpiButtons.gif The toolbar icon with the arrow missing in Juno is in the attachment image. To recreate, the following plugin projects from PTP should demonstrate: get org.eclipse.ptp.pldt.common and org.eclipse.ptp.pldt.mpi.core Just those two should show a single item in the pulldown menu. pldt.common sets up the spot to put menu contributions and pldt.mpi.core adds a menu contribution. You may get dependency errors e.g. needing CDT, but those two *should* run well enough to exhibit the symptoms. changing bug title to emphasize this seems to be a problem in e4; it worked fine in 3.7 and previous version. what version of mac os x ? Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) Lakshmi, can you please try this ? Quicker way to test: Download "Eclipse IDE for Parallel Application Developers" - e.g. Juno M4 - and bring that up. default perspective is "C/C++" and it has a PLDT toolbar icon (red-circle-arrow) without a pulldown arrow-tab next to it. I'm trying to test this on win32 but the Juno M4 CDT doesn't seem to work correctly for me, so the C/C++ perspective won't come up. I tried the Eclipse IDE for Parallel Application Developers M4 build on Mac and can see that the arrow for that particular toolitem is missing. But, the other dropdown Toolitems in eclipse don't seem to have this problem. Does the dropdown arrow for the toolitem show up on Linux and Windows? It does seem to work for Windows and Linux. Yes the other dropdown tool items work for me too. But since e4 is supposed to work without any changes from e.g. Indigo -- as is my understanding -- I shouldn't have to change anything, right? FYI this plugin code hasn't changed (the extension point etc usage that the tool item drop-down should appear for) for several years. So the dropdown menu does not appear on Mac even though it does seem to work for Mac and Linux. Hey! It's fixed in M5. Did something change? I don't see any related SWT changes in M5, so I'm not sure, may be something changed in Platform UI. Closing bug report. |
