3.3

This internal extension point is not considered API. It is used to define tweaklets. A tweaklet is anything that can be used to tweak the look and feel of the Workbench.

The following is an example tweaklet:

   

<extension point=

"org.eclipse.ui.internalTweaklets"

>

<tweaklet id=

"org.eclipse.ui.internal.tweaklets.ConcreteXYZTweaklet"

name=

"XYZ Tweaklet"

description=

"Short description of the tweak"

definition=

"org.eclipse.ui.internal.tweaklets.AbstractXYZTweaklet"

implementation=

"org.eclipse.ui.internal.tweaklets.ConcreteXYZTweaklet"

icon=

"icons/XYZ.gif"

/>

</extension>

Typically, although not required, the value of the definition attribute is the fully qualified name of an abstract class or an interface defined by the workbench, and the value of the implementation attribute is the fully qualified name of a non-abstract class provided by the extending plug-in.

Tweaklet implementations can be found in the Eclipse Platform incubator.
