I'm trying to add an action to the JDT CompilationUnit editor context
menu. The "Contributing Actions to the Eclipse Workbench" page specifies
the targetID for the default text editor context menu (#TextEditorContext)
and this works fine. However, I can't seem to find a reference to the
relevent targetID in the JDT plugin.xml files for the CompilationUnit
editor (I've tried a few but none of them seem to work). Any ideas?
Cheers,
Jimlad.

Jimlad,
Context menu IDs aren't documented in the plugin.xml, they are declared at
runtime by registerContextMenu. You can trace senders of this message or
read Table 18.2, page 447, of our book:
#CompilationUnitEditorContext
#CompilationUnitRulerContext
#CompilationUnitEditorContext
org.eclipse.jdt.ui.CompilationUnitEditor.EditorContext
org.eclipse.jdt.ui.CompilationUnitEditor.RulerContext
Some are duplicated because they changed from 2.0 -> 2.1; both are supported
in 2.1 (I haven't checked 3.0). Since these are called at runtime, it is
easy to modify the registerContextMenu implementation to write out the
parameters to the console. That's how I verified the table since many of
these were undocumented.
While I am engaging in flagrant self-promotion <g>, you may also be
interested in this article: "Extend Eclipse's Java Developer Tools"
( http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/library/os- ecjdt/). You
can see more about it and the other JDT solutions in our book here:
