custom command is disabled and cannot be executed

[yevshif]

Hi,

I am using eclipse kepler:
Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers

Version: Kepler Service Release 2
Build id: 20140224-0627

startexplorer plug-in 1.5.1.201310182147.

I added new custom command:

When I try to execute it on resource it is disabled and does not work, no errors in the logs:

I would appreciate your help.

Thanks,
Yevgeny

I investigated this. Custom commands are broken in Eclipse 4.3/Kepler. I'm using some Eclipe 3.x API there which obviously isn't used muched by anyone else. It broke with Eclipse 4.2 and I fixed it. This time I don't even know what's going wrong and I currently see no way to fix it.

I think the only reasonable option would be to rewrite custom commands against the Eclipse 4 API. http://blog.vogella.com/2013/03/21/dynamic-menu-contributions-in-eclipse-e4/ might be a starting point.

Unfortunately I don't have time for this currently.

If anybody wants to tackle this, I'll be glad to provide support but I won't be able to fix this in the near future due to other projects.

Hi,

Thank you for your response. I understand that currently you do not have a resource to fix it. In my opinion till someone will fix this issue, this bug should be opened.

Thanks,
Yevgeny

Would be neat to have this feature back with Kepler or even Mars.

Please fix this.

Please provide a pull request. I'm not even using Eclipse anymore.

I just checked this in the latest Eclipse:
Version: Mars.1 (4.5.1)
Build id: M20150904-0015

And it worked for me... can you confirm if you can still reproduce this?
