Hi Tony,
I am working on a similar application in which I wish to only use a
subset of the toolbar. To accommodate this, I created an extension point
that allows you to specify which IToolManager to use. You then specify
in your plugin_customization.ini file (which lives with your
application's .product file).
The new extension is specified at
net.refractions.udig.project.ui.toolManagers. Define your own that
subclasses
net.refractions.udig.project.ui.internal.tool.display.ToolManager and
override contributeToCoolBar().
The method I used to display only the actions I wanted was rather hacky:
I had a filter (a String[] of tool IDs, taken from the tool plugin.xml
files), and in createActionToolToolbar and createModalToolToolbar if the
tool's ID is not present in the filter, it is not added to the tool bar.
I also skipped the use of "categories".
I've attached the ToolManager implementation I am using.
Note that there are also new customization extension points similar to
this one:
net.refractions.udig.ui.menuBuilders
net.refractions.udig.ui.workbenchConfigurations
Hope this helps. I'll try and detail in the coming days more of the
changes I have made recently.
