org.eclipse.core.commands.State
org.eclipse.jface.commands.PersistentState
org.eclipse.jface.commands.ToggleState
org.eclipse.ui.handlers.RegistryToggleState
A toggle state that can be read from the registry. This stores a piece of boolean state information.
When parsing from the registry, this state understands two parameters:
default
, which is the default value for this item; and
persisted
, which is whether the state should be persisted
between sessions. The default
parameter defaults to
false
, and the persisted
parameter defaults to
true
. If only one parameter is passed (i.e., using the class
name followed by a colon), then it is assumed to be the default
parameter.
Clients may instantiate this class, but must not extend.

public final void setInitializationData(IConfigurationElement configurationElement, String propertyName, Object data)
IExecutableExtension
IConfigurationElement.createExecutableExtension
on a newly constructed extension, passing it its relevant configuration
information. Most executable extensions only make use of the first
two call arguments.
Regular executable extensions specify their Java implementation class name as an attribute of the configuration element for the extension. For example
<action run="com.example.BaseAction"/>In the above example, this method would be called with a reference to the
<action>
element (first argument), and
"run"
as the name of the attribute that defined
this executable extension (second argument).
The last parameter is for the specific use of extension adapters and is typically not used by regular executable extensions.
There are two supported ways of associating additional adapter-specific data with the configuration in a way that is transparent to the extension point implementor:
(1) by specifying adapter data as part of the implementation
class attribute value. The Java class name can be followed
by a ":" separator, followed by any adapter data in string
form. For example, if the extension point specifies an attribute
"run"
to contain the name of the extension implementation,
an adapter can be configured as
<action run="com.example.ExternalAdapter:./cmds/util.exe -opt 3"/>
(2) by converting the attribute used to specify the executable extension to a child element of the original configuration element, and specifying the adapter data in the form of xml markup. Using this form, the example above would become
<action> <run class="com.xyz.ExternalAdapter"> <parameter name="exec" value="./cmds/util.exe"/> <parameter name="opt" value="3"/> </run > </action>
Form (2) will typically only be used for extension points that anticipate the majority of extensions configured into it will in fact be in the form of adapters.
In either case, the specified adapter class is instantiated using its 0-argument public constructor. The adapter data is passed as the last argument of this method. The data argument is defined as Object. It can have the following values:
null
, if no adapter data was suppliedString
Hashtable
containing the actual
parameter names and values (both String

in interface IExecutableExtension
configurationElement
- the configuration element used to trigger this execution.
It can be queried by the executable extension for specific
configuration propertiespropertyName
- the name of an attribute of the configuration element
used on the createExecutableExtension(String)
call. This
argument can be used in the cases where a single configuration element
is used to define multiple executable extensions.data
