Unity desktop features menu similar to Mac OS X, which is always present on top of the desktop. When I run my application (using pure SWT, no JFace) on Unity desktop, menu is not present inside application window and neither in the OS menu bar. This problem will get even worse once Canonical includes this desktop- wide menu in standard desktop edition of Ubuntu (scheduled for the 11.04 release). I would like to know if there are any plans for SWT to support new menu with Unity. Best regards, Albert Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Create a shell and add menu to it. Run application on Ubuntu Netbook edition with Unity UI -> Application's menu is not present.

Other SWT based applications are now fixed (like TuxGuitar), but Eclipse is not. It looks like that Eclipse is doing something wrong...

I know I'm not helping with code (nor I could, as I know nothing on GTK), and I don't want to be a boring guy but I really think that it would be too bad for both Ubuntu and Eclipse (2 technologies I love) if this issue is not sorted out when Natty launches. Also, Eclipse 3.6 didn't made into Natty's repository (I think it will continue with 3.5 for this cycle). The packaged version includes an environment variable on the launcher to disable the global menu, which at least makes Eclipse usable. However, anyone needing a newer version of eclipse will download, and, when running, will see no menu at all. So, if possible, please, backport the fix to eclipse 3.6.

As of now, appmenu-gtk blacklists Eclipse. This has two benefits: (1) apps launched by eclipse aren't blacklisted and (2) no matter where the user gets Eclipse from, it will not have broken menus.

Same thing. Only thing I could do was provide a shell script to launch the app: #!/bin/bash export UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=0 ./App_Name Is this a fault of Eclipse or of Ubuntu?

If Eclipse is still having problems with menus, it could be because Eclipse creates some menus dynamically when they are needed. (If this is the case, we still believe it's a problem in Unity - some applications need dynamic menus). We'll get the latest Ubuntu and investigate.

Applications that have dynamic menus are not supported. This support could be added by Unity by listening for the add/remove signal on the menu bar and rebuilding the top bar whenever the listeners get called. Eclipse itself runs under Ubuntu 11.04 with the menus intact in its shell. This works because an exception has been made in the appmenu code for Eclipse. An RCP app will have its menus added to the top menu bar, but any adding/removing of menu items by the app will fail.

If you press the button, a new menu item gets added to the the menu bar, but the top bar does not get updated. If you uncomment the "OS.g_set_prgname(buffer);" line, it will force the menu bars to appear in the shell. Clicking on the button, you will see that the menu item gets added to the bar.

Not so with our RCP application. We create our menu items in an ActionBarAdvisor class. Is this deemed to be "adding/removing of menu items by the app"?

This will hopefully get backported to Ubuntu 11.04. However! There is one issue with global menu support that I just can't seem to fix from outside of RCP itself. The issue is keyboard shortcut labels on menu items. Right now, it's a bit hit or miss whether they show up. RCP has two MenuItem accelerator-related methods. It can call setAccelerator on the menu item which installs the key codes themselves and tells GTK+ about it. This we can detect and show correctly. The other method is to just set the text itself on the menu item and RCP seems to handle the key press itself elsewhere. So all GTK+ knows about is that there is (possibly translated) text representing the shortcut in the label. Is there a way to get RCP to also use setAccelerator whenever it sets shortcut labels? That would ensure that menu items work correctly.

That would ensure that menu items work correctly. RCP and Eclipse SDK use a KeyDown filter to process key shortcuts. We have multi-keystroke shortcuts and shortcuts for behaviour not in the menus directly. But even for some more standard accelerators (CTRL+Y or ALT+/) the system has to dispatch to a handler based on a number of factors, including which part is active, what's the selection, etc. Using setAccelerator(*) would fire the Selection for that MenuItem, producing the wrong executing in about half of the Eclipse SDK cases.
