add an export wizard to eclipse RCP standalone Application

Question

Hi I'm trying to add an export wizard, similar to the export wizard available in Eclipse to a standalone RCP Application. I put the following code in plugin.xml:

   <extension
     id="exportScript"
     point="org.eclipse.ui.exportWizards">
  <wizard
        class="com.myApplication.scriptGenerator.ExportWizard"
        id="com.myApplication.scriptGenerator.exid"
        name="Export as Script">
  </wizard>

But no wizard can be seen in the File menu entry.. What am I missing?

thanks :)

You have to do two things:

Use org.eclipse.ui.exportWizards extension point (which you already did)
In your Applications action bar advisor class first create the standard workbench action for export and then add it in any of your menu.

Code Snippet

// Creating and registering the action 
IWorkbenchAction export = ActionFactory.EXPORT.create(window);
register(export);

 // adding it to standard file menu
fileMenu.add(export);

>>Full Code - ApplicationActionBarAdvisor

package wiztest;

import org.eclipse.jface.action.GroupMarker;
import org.eclipse.jface.action.ICoolBarManager;
import org.eclipse.jface.action.IMenuManager;
import org.eclipse.jface.action.MenuManager;
import org.eclipse.ui.IWorkbenchActionConstants;
import org.eclipse.ui.IWorkbenchWindow;
import org.eclipse.ui.actions.ActionFactory;
import org.eclipse.ui.actions.ActionFactory.IWorkbenchAction;
import org.eclipse.ui.application.ActionBarAdvisor;
import org.eclipse.ui.application.IActionBarConfigurer;

public class ApplicationActionBarAdvisor extends ActionBarAdvisor {

    private IWorkbenchAction exitAction;
    private IWorkbenchAction export;

    public ApplicationActionBarAdvisor(IActionBarConfigurer configurer) {
        super(configurer);
    }

    protected void makeActions(final IWorkbenchWindow window) {

        exitAction = ActionFactory.QUIT.create(window);
        register(exitAction);


        export = ActionFactory.EXPORT.create(window);
        register(export);
    }

    protected void fillMenuBar(IMenuManager menuBar) {
        MenuManager fileMenu = new MenuManager("&File", IWorkbenchActionConstants.M_FILE);

        menuBar.add(fileMenu);
        menuBar.add(new GroupMarker(IWorkbenchActionConstants.MB_ADDITIONS));
        fileMenu.add(export);
        fileMenu.add(exitAction);        
    }

    protected void fillCoolBar(ICoolBarManager coolBar) {

    }
}

Hi, thanks for the reply :-) Unfortunately, I can't find the ApplicationActionBarAdvisor class. I suspect that the reason for it is that my RCP is actually (should have mentioned it earlier...) a GMF application. Do you have any idea what to do in this case? — Protostome, May 03 '11 at 12:57
@Protostome: Look for a class extending `org.eclipse.ui.application.ActionBarAdvisor`. The `ApplicationActionBarAdvisor` I have mentioned is from my dummy application. — Favonius, May 03 '11 at 13:10

You should implement in your Wizard this interface INewWizard, like:

public class LoadDataWizard extends Wizard implements INewWizard{}

and add this extension:

org.eclipse.ui.newWizards

to your plugin.xml

1.Create a menu

2.add a listener on the menu

Example :-

mntmExportProject.addSelectionListener(
new SelectionAdapter() {

        @Override
        public void widgetSelected(SelectionEvent e) {
            ImportExportWizard wizard = new ImportExportWizard(ImportExportWizard.EXPORT);
            IStructuredSelection selectionToPass = new StructuredSelection(treeViewer.getSelection());

            wizard.init(PlatformUI.getWorkbench(), selectionToPass);
            IDialogSettings workbenchSettings = WorkbenchPlugin.getDefault().getDialogSettings();
            IDialogSettings wizardSettings = workbenchSettings.getSection("ImportExportAction"); //$NON-NLS-1$
            if (wizardSettings == null) {
                wizardSettings = workbenchSettings.addNewSection("ImportExportAction"); //$NON-NLS-1$
            }
            wizard.setDialogSettings(wizardSettings);
            wizard.setForcePreviousAndNextButtons(true);
            Shell parent = PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getShell();
            WizardDialog dialog = new WizardDialog(parent, wizard);
            dialog.create();
            dialog.getShell().setSize(Math.max(470, dialog.getShell().getSize().x), 550);
            dialog.open();
        }
    });

() You have not specified the category of the File in your plugin.xml () If you are not seeing the File->New item itself, you need create them by the ActionFactory.NEW or ActionFactory.NEW_WIZARD_DROP_DOWN actions or by contributing them by commands
