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
