Add Action to the "Source" context menu [message #547507]

Hi,

I want to add my developed action to the "Source" context menu of the JDT. It should be enabled on a IJavaProject, IPackageFragment/Root, ICompilationUnit. So first I thought I should use an objectContribution but there is only a single type registrable. Than I used a viewerContribution, and it works fine. The context menu entry is shown. But each time the Runtime starts with a fresh plugin installation I get an entry in the Log:

Plug-in 'myPlugin' contributed an invalid Menu Extension (Path: 'org.eclipse.jdt.ui.source.menu' is invalid): myPlugin.action

plugin.xml:

<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.popupMenus">
	<viewerContribution
		id="myPlugin.viewerContribution"
		targetID="org.eclipse.jdt.ui.PackageExplorer">
		<action
			class="myPlugin.ActionDelegate"
			id="myPlugin.action"
			label="%action.label"
		menubarPath="org.eclipse.jdt.ui.source.menu/myAction"/>
	</viewerContribution>
</extension>

What is the reason for this message, or is there another way to add an entry to the context menu?

Kind regards,
Michael

Hi,

there are now more than 600 viewers and nobody has an idea how to contribute to the source menu of the JDT? Sad

I get the error each time I'm clicking on a Element which not provides a "Source" menu.

I played a little bit with the enablement-Tag but without any results.

Kind regards,
Michael

the menubarPath has to reference an existing group in the popupMenu,
probably not "myAction". Also, despite a viewerContribution being
added after an objectContribution, since an objectContribution may or
may not be there you cannot use a viewerContribution to add to an
objectContribution menu. Technically to add to the source menu you
would need an objectContribution that matches the one that provides the
source menu itself.

Since 3.3 org.eclipse.ui.menus allows you to contribute commands to
menus and toolbars in many locations. menu contributions can depend on
other menu contributions, unlike the legacy action contributions (like
popupMenus, except in a very few situations). They're also still under
active development.

Thanks for your reply,

Commands and org.eclipse.ui.menus was a good hint!

The command is now also visible in the editor's context menu!

I got a working solution now:

	<extension
	      point="org.eclipse.ui.commands">
	      <command
             id="command.mycommand"
             name="%action.label">
	      </command>
	</extension>
	
	<extension
	      point="org.eclipse.ui.menus">
		<menuContribution
        allPopups="true"
        locationURI="popup:org.eclipse.jdt.ui.source.menu?after=additions">
        	<separator
               name="mySeparator"
               visible="true">
        	</separator>
        	<command
               commandId="command.mycommand"
               style="push">
				<visibleWhen>
					<or>
						<with
		                     variable="activeMenuSelection">
							<iterate>
								<or>
									<adapt type="org.eclipse.jdt.core.IJavaProject"/>
									<adapt type="org.eclipse.jdt.core.IPackageFragment"/>
									<adapt type="org.eclipse.jdt.core.IPackageFragmentRoot"/>
									<adapt type="org.eclipse.jdt.core.ICompilationUnit"/>
								</or>
							</iterate>
						</with>
						<with variable="activeEditorId">
						      <equals value="org.eclipse.jdt.ui.CompilationUnitEditor" />
						</with>
					</or>
				</visibleWhen>
        	</command>
            <separator
                  name="additions"
                  visible="false">
            </separator>
		</menuContribution>
	</extension>
	
	<extension
	    point="org.eclipse.ui.handlers">
	    <handler
	          commandId="command.mycommand"
	          class="project.MyHandler">
	    </handler>
    </extension>

Kind regards,
Michael
