Is there a way to get access to "Others Workingset" or its workingSet Manager?

I am recreating an explorer in eclipse which should enable working set as top layer style. Is there a way to access the "Others Workingset" created by eclipse jdt? I tried to create my own localWorkingSetManager and add a working set with the ID IWorkingSetIDs.OTHERS, but this leads to exception in OthersWorkingSetUpdater. If there is not a way to directly access this working set, is there any other way to create a working set that is not editable?

Solution

You will need to define your own working set id and use your own IWorkingSetUpdater if you need one.

The Java plugin defines the Others working set using:

<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.workingSets">
  <workingSet
        name="%OthersWorkingSetWizardPage.name"
        description="%OthersWorkingSetWizardPage.description"
        icon="$nl$/icons/full/obj16/jworkingSet_obj.png"
        updaterClass="org.eclipse.jdt.internal.ui.workingsets.OthersWorkingSetUpdater"
        id="org.eclipse.jdt.internal.ui.OthersWorkingSet">
  </workingSet>
</extension>

You will need to specify your own updaterClass and id

The key here is that no pageClass attribute is specified which makes the working set not editable.
