Hi everyone,
I'm trying to insert a dynamic menu in the Project Explorer View menu.
It works in Eclipse 3 but I can't make it run under Eclipse 4.
I use the org.eclipse.ui.menus extension point and extend the
ContributionItem class.
All this stuff is done with the compatibility layer with a non RCP plugin.
<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.menus">
<menuContribution
locationURI=" popup:org.eclipse.ui.navigator.ProjectExplorer#ProjectExplor er?after=additions ">
<dynamic
class="org.eclipse.test.e4.testplugin.MyContributionItem"
id="org.eclipse.test.e4.testplugin.dynamic1">
</dynamic>
</menuContribution>
</extension>
So, do I miss something or can't it work at this point of Eclipse 4 ?
Is there an alternative way to do this ?
Thanks a lot
Stephane Rousseau

Hello,
Thank you for your answer.
I badly explained my dev.
Using popup:org.eclipse.ui.popup.any in Eclipse 3, I have the menu
everywhere as expected.
But my first solution in Eclipse 4 (using
org.eclipse.ui.navigator.navigatorContent) doesn't work in all views
(only Project Explorer view as expected).
So, it's not a bug, but it doesn't solve my migration problem. The last
part of your answer confirms my thought.
