Build Identifier: 20110615-0604 Windows 7 jumplist tasks dissappear after opening Eclipse help Eclipse Indigo 3.7 Java Package Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Internet Explorer 9 installed Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Look that you have jumplist tasks in the Eclipse icon, for example the ones for mylyn. 2. Open the help (Help->Help Contents) 3. The Tasks have dissappeared until you restart Eclipse.
I can reproduce this on the similar software stack. Is this specific to Mylyn? My understanding is that we have some support at SWT level (bug 293229) and Mylyn (bug 304234 comment 10).
Yes, the support is provided by SWT, but Mylyn contributes actions to it. It seems what is happening is that when the Help window is opened, it has the same application ID as Eclipse, but is separate so it creates a separate system task bar item (as there can only be one per application that is shown in the task bar). There is a similar problem if you open 2 Eclipse instances that the second one will overwrite the task bar items of the first one.
Shawn, I think the workbench should manage contribution to the jump list, agreed ? please move this to UI if you agree with me. Thank you.
Yes, I agree that platform should manage the contribution and ensure that this doesn't happen when help is opened. There is already a bug for managing this. 304234: [UX] Provide jumplist actions in the Eclipse icon on the Windows 7 Task Bar https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=304234
(In reply to comment #3) > Shawn, I think the workbench should manage contribution to the jump list, > agreed ? please move this to UI if you agree with me. Thank you. Just a note that Platform/UI doesn't have any code to deal with jumplists, so this is a request for new functionality.
This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant. If the bug is still relevant, please remove the "stalebug" whiteboard tag.
