"org.eclipse.ui.handlers" allows to specify parameters, too, but it seems they are not made available in the handler's execute method. Is this right or do I miss something?

Not working example:

That top example is almost exactly what I have been searching for all day. However, I can't figure out how to use it to do what I want. I want to have an eclipse cheatsheet command that opens a specified file. If I use the file open command, it doesn't let me pass in parameters and just opens the window. If I can get it to open (execute) a file then I can run AHK and AutoIt scripts to further the cheatsheet automation. Please help.

I'm sorry, but I'm a bit new to the Command Framework. I'm having a hard time thinking of a situation where command parameters are useful. Would it be possible for you to give an example where the parameter value is determined at runtime? Thanks.

@Wayne,
Yes, I'll be very much interested :-)

@Anonymous #1:
I don't think you can change the name/label of a command.

@Anonymous #2:
In your handler's execute method,

HandlerUtil.getVariable(event, ISources.ACTIVE_CURRENT_SELECTION_NAME);

should give you the current selection. But you don't need a parameterized command for this. A normal command itself would do.

Nice series of tips on commands. It got me to think about reworking my old
actions.

Having one problem though...

The example shows passing static strings as parameters but if the goal is to run a handler on a user selected resource, how does one pass the selection/ resource back to the command/handler from the menuContribution/command?
(IActionDelegate had selectionChanged for this)

Your example showed passing strings as parameters. But if my goal is to select a file in the Navigator for example, show a command label in the popup menu on the file and then have my handler take some action on the selected file - How does one pass the file name as a parameter back to the command and handler?
