Phoebus display option in CS-Studio

[rjwills28]

There is an option in CS-Studio to launch the Phoebus application from the top toolbar > CS-Studio > Display > Phoebus. This only works if the phoebus_home and phoebus_version have been set in applications/phoebus/phoebus-plugins/org.csstudio.phoebus.integration/preferences.ini. Otherwise exceptions are thrown in the log and nothing happens.

Do you think there should be a preference to define whether or not the Phoebus launch is shown in the CS-Studio > Display menu in the case that Phoebus has not been installed?

Not including the Phoebus integration plugin/feature in your product would achieve the same result.
I don't like preferences to disable a feature which is included without intention to use...

Yes, simply not including what you don't need is most straight forward.
You can update your site-specific product build to only include what you need in the first place.
After the fact, I also find it practical to simply delete the corresponding *.jar file from the product.

After looking into this, I find that opibuilder depends on org.csstudio.phoebus.integration. So anyone who includes opibuilder gets the Phoebus menu entry, or so it seems. We have not changed the preference use_phoebus=false.

I will look into this.
The dependency might have happened with the "open in Phoebus" action
