Class OpenNewWindowMenu

All Implemented Interfaces:
IContributionItem

@Deprecated public class OpenNewWindowMenu extends PerspectiveMenu
Deprecated.
See IWorkbench.showPerspective methods.
A menu for window creation in the workbench.

An OpenNewWindowMenu is used to populate a menu with "Open Window" actions. One item is added for each shortcut perspective, as defined by the product ini. If the user selects one of these items a new window is created in the workbench with the given perspective.

The visible perspectives within the menu may also be updated dynamically to reflect user preference.

The input for the page is determined by the value of pageInput. The input should be passed into the constructor of this class or set using the setPageInput method.

This class may be instantiated; it is not intended to be subclassed.

Restriction:
This class is not intended to be subclassed by clients.
