[solved] popupMenus on IMarker [message #696270]

Hi everyone,

I have an issue with a plugin i wrote a while ago (Eclipse 3.2 times I think) which does not work as I would expect anymore. It did in the past with the same code.

I create some IMarkers and would like to have a menu item in the popupMenu.

This is what I use as extension point:

   <extension
         point="org.eclipse.ui.popupMenus">
      <objectContribution
            id="de.test.consoleparser.objectContribution1"
            objectClass="org.eclipse.core.resources.IMarker">
            <action
                  class="de.test.consoleparser.ui.DeleteMarkerDelegate"
                  id="de.test.consoleparser.ui.DeleteMarker"
                  label="Delete Marker"
                  menubarPath="additions">
            </action>

      </objectContribution>
   </extension>

The menu item just doesn't appear. The funny thing is that when changing the object class to use IFile as in the following line, the menu item appears (in the file context menu).

objectClass="org.eclipse.core.resources.IFile"

So I guess generally what I am doing seems to be not completely wrong, but something is not working the way think it is. As mentioned it did work previously.

Any suggestions or hints?

Thanks in advance!

Where do you expect your objectContribution to appear? When you right-click on a problem in the Problems view?

Exactly. That's also where it used to appear in the past.

Try adding adapt="true" to your objectContribution.

Yep, you are (almost) right. The flag is called "adaptable". Something like RTFM just came to my mind after reading the documentation. Thanks for not being that "direct" Very Happy

adaptable - a flag that indicates if types that adapt to IResource should use this object contribution. This flag is used only if objectClass adapts to IResource. Default value is false.

No idea if the flag is new, the default value has changed or it just accidentally worked in the past, but the new version looks like this:

   <extension
         point="org.eclipse.ui.popupMenus">
      <objectContribution
            adaptable="true"
            id="de.test.consoleparser.objectContribution1"
            objectClass="org.eclipse.core.resources.IMarker">
            <action
                  class="de.bosch.consoleparser.ui.DeleteMarkerDelegate"
                  id="de.bosch.consoleparser.ui.DeleteMarker"
                  label="Delete Marker"
                  menubarPath="additions">
            </action>

      </objectContribution>
    </extension>

Thank you very much!

The flag is old (often used because java projects are IJavaProjects, not IProjects, but many objectContributions care about IProjects) but all of the Markers views were re-implemented between 3.2 and now. So now (apparently) you need to adapt to see IMarker (in the previous implementation the view model objects must have implemented IMarker directly, but the no longer do so).
