Help adding menu [message #628859]

Hi,
I created a new main menu entry with the actionSets plugin:
it works in the Java perspective, but not in Papyrus one.
So I used the plugin perspectiveExtensions to add the menu to Papyrus view but it still not showing.

What can be wrong?

Thanks in advance, 123star

Hi 123star,

In papyrus, we have added a plugin used to filter actions and menu.
If you want to see this menu, you have to explicitly add in a extension point "org.eclipse.papyrus.ui.perspectiveconfiguration"
an example can be seen in the plugin http://dev.eclipse.org/svnroot/modeling/org.eclipse.mdt.papy rus/branches/0.7.X/plugins/uml/org.eclipse.papyrus.uml.ui.pe rspectiveconfiguration

I paste the plugin.xml of this plugin

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?eclipse version="3.4"?>
<plugin>
   <extension
         point="org.eclipse.papyrus.ui.perspectiveconfiguration">
      <configuration
            perspectiveID="org.eclipse.papyrus.core.perspective">
         <menu
               menuID="file">
         </menu>
         <menu
               menuID="edit">
         </menu>
         <menu
               menuID="org.eclipse.papyrus.ui.menu">
         </menu>
         <menu
               menuID="window">
         </menu>
         <menu
               menuID="help">
         </menu>
         <toolbar
               toolbarID="org.eclipse.papyrus.diagram.ui.toolbar">
         </toolbar>
         <preferencePage
               preferencepageID="org.eclipse.papyrus.preferences.generalcategory">
         </preferencePage>
         <category
               categoryID="org.eclipse.ui.category.file">
         </category>
         <category
               categoryID="org.eclipse.ui.category.edit">
         </category>
         <category
               categoryID="org.eclipse.ui.category.help">
         </category>
         <category
               categoryID="org.eclipse.papyrus.editor.category">
         </category>
      </configuration>
   </extension>

</plugin>

Thank you Patrick,

but I can't see how to use this extension point:

1. Do I have to remove the org.eclipse.ui.perspectiveExtensions and replace it with org.eclipse.papyrus.ui.perspectiveconfiguration,
or use both of them?

2.I have created an ActionSet containing a menu with two actions, I want the menu to show in the Main Menubar, I tried to configure the plugin in this way but had no results:

<extension
point="org.eclipse.papyrus.ui.perspectiveconfiguration">
<configuration
perspectiveID="org.eclipse.papyrus.core.perspective">
<menu
menuID="CHESSPlugin.menu">
</menu>
</configuration>

</extension>

CHESSPlugin.menu is the id of the menu in the action set.
I tried to find some documentation, but didn't find anything...

Thanks in advance, 123star

It filters by id. So I think is is better to use org.eclipse.ui.menus and org.eclipse.ui.commands.
Can you see your menu in the "customize perspective" tool box
(window-> Customizeperspective)
