Extending Papyrus - adding a new command to a papyrus menu [message #896930]

Hi,

I want to develop a plugin to add new functionality while working with papyrus.

Assume user creates a State Diagram, drags/drop some states and transitions. Now for example, when s/he right clicks a state, I want to add a new command on the popped menu.

I searched for the extension points and identifiers. However, I couldnt find something useful.

Am I on the right path? or How do you think this can be done?

Thanks.

Hello,

Papyrus relies on the standard Eclipse menu extension point for all its menus and toolbars: org.eclipse.ui.menus

Have a look at org.eclipse.papyrus.uml.diagram.menu for some examples.

Papyrus also provides a property tester for testing the Diagram Type: org.eclipse.papyrus.uml.diagram.common.diagram.tester.diagramType (Have a look at org.eclipse.papyrus.uml.diagram.composite for an example)

Regards,
Camille

Here is an Eclipse Commands Tutorial.

www.vogella.com/articles/EclipseCommands/article.html

I think you might achieve something with it, especially with the seventh part : Tutorial: Commands and context menus which could be useful in your case.

Thanks Camille and Nicolas,

Solution:
As Camille said, I dig into the source code of "org.eclipse.papyrus.uml.diagram.menu" and found how papyrus team implemented the context views and commands such as "Format" and "Filter" by searching the extention points and locationURIs in the plugin.xml file.

For instance, the locationURI for adding a command in the context menu after right click in a papyrus diagram is "popup:org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.diagram.ui.DiagramEditorContextMenu"
