How to include Switch Workspace in File menu

Question

I am trying to develop an Eclipse RCP application but I have a problem. I don't know how to implement "switch workspace " in file menu.

Can somebody please help me?

Answer 1

In your RCP ActionBarAdvisor derived class you can create the Switch Workspace action with:

IWorkbenchAction switchWorkspaceAction = IDEActionFactory.OPEN_WORKSPACE.create(window);
register(switchWorkspaceAction);

and then add it to a menu manager.

You will need to have the org.eclipse.ui.ide plugin as a dependency.
