Hi,
I want to create a context menu when a user right clicks on a node in tree. The context menu should recognize which on which node the popup menu was opened and then act accordingly.

I have been able to detect right click on a node for a tree using this method

tree.addListener(SWT.MenuDetect, new Listener() {
		@Override
		public void handleEvent(Event event) {

however I have not been able to figure out how to create context menu and pass details of the node to it

There is a lot of information available by searching for "javafx context menu example". For example this tutorial:
http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/ui_controls/tree-view.htm

Sorry ... my last reply is BS of course ... thought I was in another forum. Of course you need to search for "swt context menu tree" (or such) and you will find things like this:

and

He is not talking about JavaFX. To see how to create a context menu
based upon selection look at

http://git.eclipse.org/c/platform/eclipse.platform.ui.git/tree/examples/org.eclipse.jface.snippets/Eclipse%20JFace%20Snippets/org/eclipse/jface/snippets/viewers/Snippet005TreeCustomMenu.java
