In fact, a few hours after sending my answer, I wondered if my answer
was really correct.
An action called "openAction" implementing the OpenDocumentAction
interface is really needed if you want to be able to open documents in XXE.
This action is used not only in the "File|Open" menu item (that you have
removed) but also when the document to be opened is specified as a
command line argument (may be you did that in Java Web Start's .jnlp file).
Therefore a wiser answer would be:
[1] Keep:
<action name="openAction" label="_Open..."
icon="icons/openAction.gif"
accelerator="mod O">
<class
implementsCommand="XXE.open"
>com.xmlmind.xmleditapp.kit.part.OpenAction</class>
</action>
That is, do not define a *dummy* "openAction". Keep the original
com.xmlmind.xmleditapp.kit.part.OpenAction even if you don't use it in
"File|Open".
[2] Remove:
<action name="openAction" />
from:
<menu name="fileMenu" label="_File"
helpId="fileMenu">
[3] Declare:
<action name="openAction" />
in the <hidden> element.
That is:
