Hi, I want to show a contribution to the popup menu of, for example, the package explorer only if a project is selected. This can be any project, not only a java project.

How can I do this? There seems to be no common superclass for projects.

For example, JavaProject only inherits from IAdaptable, but all other entries in the package explorer do the same, so I cannot make a distinction based on this class. How can I check (in an extension, i.e. plugin.xml) if the selection is any kind of project.

Thank you in advance for your hepl

IProject is the project class to check for. You also need to adapt
before you check, that will convert entries like IJavaProject.
