Hide "Run on Server" Feature in Eclipse

Question

I never use "Run As -> Run on Server" in Eclipse. How do I hide it?

Answer 1

Create your plug-in, then define your activities pattern to hide the context menus. Then export your plug-in into your eclipse, restart eclipse.

See this blog post how to find the id of context menu and use activities extension.

Answer 2

Straight forward easy 2 sec solution:

• Run it once with that option, and if it's not meant to run on a server, then you'll get a pop up like the below saying 'The selection did not contain any resources that can run on a server.'
• Click ok.
• Now when you go to file --> right click, you'll not see that option anymore.

So the easiest solution to remove it is to run it with that option once.

I have also been frustrated with this and wanted to remove that option. I came looking for a viable/comfortable/doable answer, but couldn't find it. After months, i have found a easier solution for this. It's pretty straight forward as given above.
