Hi,
Eclipse Version 3.4.1 Build id: M20080911-1700
JDK Version 1.6.0_10
Windows XP
I am trying to learn about Eclipse Plugins and I have created a Plugin
Project based on the Popup Menu example. I can launch it as an Eclipse
Application and see my plugin in the list of plugins available from
"Help->About Eclipse Platform". I created a test Java project in the
launched application, but no matter where I right-click I don't see my
sub-menu. What am I missing here?
I tried adding System.out.println() calls in each method of the plugin
classes but nothing was output (that I could find) in any Console or log
file. What is the best method to use to output debug information in a
plugin?
Thanks,
David

Try IClassFile for example but I haven't done this before so it is just
an idea:
http://help.eclipse.org/ganymede/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclips e.jdt.doc.isv/reference/api/org/eclipse/jdt/core/IClassFile. html
You will need to add a dependency to org.eclipse.jdt.core
General documentation about the Extension Point you are playing with:
http://help.eclipse.org/ganymede/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclips e.platform.doc.isv/reference/extension-points/org_eclipse_ui _popupMenus.html
Hope this helps,
Chemi.

Open Resource Perspective
Create a: General -> Project
Create a: General -> File
Right button on top of created File
You should see the menu and the System.out.println() lines in the console.

Duh! Yes that worked great, thanks for the pointer. To push my luck a
little :) how would I get the menu to appear for, say, a Java file?
I see that the bit of magic I was missing is the "objectClass:
org.eclipse.core.resources.IFile", but what would I want this to be for a
Java file? I tried putting "org.eclipse.core.resources." in the java class
and using auto-completion to suggest things, but nothing jumped out at me.
Pushing my luck a little further, is there some document I can read about
all this, or maybe some javadoc.
Thanks again,
David
