Dynamic Labels Redux

This is an update to a previous blog posting about contributing menu items with dynamic labels to popups. The constructor

public CommandContributionItem(IServiceLocator serviceLocator, String id, String commandId, Map parameters, ImageDescriptor icon, ImageDescriptor disabledIcon, ImageDescriptor hoverIcon, String label, String mnemonic, String tooltip, int style)

has been deprecated in Ganymede (Eclipse 3.4) in favor of the less unwieldy

public CommandContributionItem(CommandContributionItemParameter contributionParameters)

CommandContributionItemParameter has both a complete and a minimal constructor (for injecting just the required parameters), and its fields are public and non-final, so they can be set as needed.

The equivalent revised example class looks something like this:

public class MyCompoundContributionItem extends CompoundContributionItem {
  private static int counter = 0;

  @Override
  protected IContributionItem[] getContributionItems() {
    final CommandContributionItemParameter contributionParameter = 
      new CommandContributionItemParameter(
        PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow(),
        "my.project.myCommandContributionItem", "my.project.myCommand",
        SWT.NONE);
    contributionParameter.label = "Dynamic Menu Item " + counter++;
    return new IContributionItem[] { 
    new CommandContributionItem(contributionParameter) };
  }
}
