There is a way to customize the toolbar. It is not clean because it
was functionality that was needed quick and dirty. What you do it
create a Toolmanager extension. Then in your application's custom
initialization file, you need to specify that your toolmanager
extension is the extension to use.
Could swear I wrote a very similar email not too long ago. I guess I
need to write something up for the website.

Hey the idea of being able to toggle off individual tools is a good
one. Our group breiflly talked about doing it but I didn't see a
clean way off doing it so we haven't been worrying about it.
However, this would reduce visual clutter and improve useabllity so
keep posting how it goes.

Hi Frederic; we don't add functionality to UDig until there is some
who needs it. I am not sure if we have thought about how to turn on
and off tools. I started doing that work but there was nobody
around interested to test...
So lets do so now ...
1. Tools are probably contributed via action sets; can you check
how that is done? If we can make an action set with the same name
as a tool category we should be able to toggle the actionset off
for your persepective and hide the tool categorizes you don't need
2. There is a new way to do menus and toolbars is with expressions
and context and that sort of thing; I need to figure it out more
I made a couple "dynamic" menu entries (to process the tools into
the menu tree) when a Map is enabled; we can make the check for a
matchig actionset or context there. There is also an Eclipse RCP
where the plugin.xml files are filtered abit allowing you to turn
off anything you want (the code will still be there but it won't be
picked up by the Platform).
The Window menu is part of Eclipse RCP; while you don't have to use
that in your app it is part of the eclipse user interface guidelines.
You may want to start with an Eclipse RCP book; there are some docs
in the wiki about customizing uDig but many of your questions are
aimed at the menu extention points about which we both need to
learn more.

Hi every body,
I wrote a stand alone RCP application who needs Udig. It work fine
when launched from my Eclipse IDE. But I have problems with
'product' configuration. I 've searched 2 days …..
- when I open my application I received this error : Error opening
the editor.Group not found: additions. I suppose some udig modules
are missings or not initialized , or not instanciated.
I also search who to customize udig menu : I want to
- suppress some tools like 'Delete feature', 'Create Polygon
Geometry',…
- suppresse to level menus like 'Map','Data,'Window',
- or supress some options into this menus.
Probably all this operations are simple, but I didn't find tuto,
explainations ( or I didn't understand them) or examples.
Is there a book about Udig customisation ?
Best regards,
Frederick
