Hi All,

It is regarding the plugin i am developing by extending RSE eclipse plugin.
I am expected to have context menu in RSE's Remote Systems View,enabled on
few remote files.
The context menu that i have made is generalised i.e. it is appearing on
every remote file(which is not expected) since it was created by extending
the interface -

org.eclipse.rse.subsystems.files.core.subsystems.IRemoteFile

I have also gone through the help document for developers provided by RSE
where they have shown the way of filtering out the context menu over the
files only with .jar extension(with the help of regular expression).

But i need the context menu to appear over those remote files whose parent
remote directory satisfies few conditions.

I am stuck up at this point.
Please direct me with the possible solutions or any tutorials regarding
filter implementation and even suggest if there is any other way of fixing
it.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks,
Vrushali.

Hello Vrushnali,

I think the recommended way for contributing menu items with complex
enablement conditions (like checking a parent folder) is to use the
org.eclipse.ui.menus extension point, with visibleWhen markup and
a Property Tester

http://help.eclipse.org/help33/topic/org.eclipse.platform.do c.isv/reference/extension-points/org_eclipse_ui_menus.html
http://help.eclipse.org/help33/topic/org.eclipse.platform.do c.isv/reference/api/org/eclipse/core/expressions/IPropertyTe ster.html
http://help.eclipse.org/help33/topic/org.eclipse.platform.do c.isv/reference/extension-points/org_eclipse_core_expression s_propertyTesters.html

For getting started, you might find the EclipseCon 2007 presentation
helpful:
http://www.eclipsecon.org/2007/index.php?page=sub/&id=36 92
and lots of good examples come on the Eclipse Wiki:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Menu_Contributions

You might want to ask in the org.eclipse.platform newsgroup for more
help using the ui.menus and propertyTester extensions.

Cheers,

More info about Eclipse Platform Menus and commands:

http://help.eclipse.org/help33/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse. platform.doc.isv/guide/workbench.htm
is the starting place for 3.3, it walks through the
org.eclipse.ui.examples.contributions plugin. This plugin has been
updated with more examples in HEAD for 3.4 as per the eclipsecon talk,
http://www.eclipsecon.org/2008/?page=sub/&id=221

There's no "getting started", but use these wiki pages for references:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Platform_Command_Framework
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Command_Core_Expressions
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Menu_Contributions
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Menus_Extension_Mapping

There is an article in the works as well, although it's not likely to be
finished until after 3.4. Paul Webster will be collaborating/providing
information to them:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=223445

If none of these helps, ask Paul on eclipse.platform or
eclipse.platform.rcp newsgroups.
