This belongs on eclipse.platform, I have posted it there.
Look into the org.eclipse.ui.navigator.viewer and .navigatorContent
extension points. This allows you to select which action sets you pick
up from the definition of the CommonNavigator which is found in
org.eclipse.ui.navigator.resources.
You can substitute your own actions using something like this (I
replaced the NewAction with my own):
<!-- for RCP app -->
<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.navigator.viewer">
<viewerActionBinding
viewerId="com.oaklandsw.gui.navigator">
<includes>
<!-- we don't want all of these, as we don't want NewActions -->
<actionExtension
pattern="org.eclipse.ui.navigator.resources.EditActions" />
<actionExtension
pattern="org.eclipse.ui.navigator.resources.RefactorActions " />
<actionExtension
pattern="org.eclipse.ui.navigator.resources.OpenActions" />
<actionExtension
pattern="org.eclipse.ui.navigator.resources.PortingActions" />
<actionExtension
pattern=" org.eclipse.ui.navigator.resources.PropertiesActionsProvider " />
<actionExtension
pattern=" org.eclipse.ui.navigator.resources.WorkManagementActionProvi der " />
<actionExtension
pattern="org.eclipse.ui.navigator.resources.ResourceMgmtActions " />
<actionExtension
pattern="org.eclipse.ui.navigator.resources.WorkingSetActionProvider " />
<actionExtension pattern="com.oaklandsw.gui.*" />
<actionExtension pattern="com.oaklandsw.transform.*" />
</includes>
<excludes>
<!-- exclude everything not specifically included -->
<actionExtension
pattern="org.eclipse.ui.navigator.resources.NewActions" />
</excludes>
</viewerActionBinding>
<viewerContentBinding viewerId="com.oaklandsw.gui.navigator">
<includes>
<contentExtension
pattern="com.oaklandsw.transform.navigatorContent"/>
<contentExtension
pattern="org.eclipse.ui.navigator.resourceContent" />
<contentExtension
pattern="org.eclipse.ui.navigator.resources.filters.*"/>
<contentExtension
pattern="org.eclipse.ui.navigator.resources.linkHelper"/>
<contentExtension
pattern="org.eclipse.ui.navigator.resources.workingSets"/>
</includes>
</viewerContentBinding>
</extension>
<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.navigator.navigatorContent">
....
<actionProvider
class="com.oaklandsw.transform.editor.NewActionProvider"
id="com.oaklandsw.transform.NewActions"
priority="highest">
<enablement>
<not>
<systemTest property="org.eclipse.core.runtime.product" value="XXX"/>
</not>
</enablement>
</actionProvider>
....
Also, these postings provide much useful information on use of the CNF
(package explorer):

I don't know off the top of my head how you deal with the double-click
stuff, but if you look at the extension points and the articles, you
should be able to find that.

Hi Francis,
Thanks for the help that you extended. I worked on the following and used it
successfully to override the Open action (this is registered as a
Retargettable action already). However, for the editActions (copy, paste) I
am unable to override the default action, since I need to register my
actions as retargetting these default actions. How can I do that really?
The way I have added my actions (following instructions given on the CNF
blog - scribbledideas.blogspot.com) is using actionProvider... following is
roughly the code from the plugin.xml for reference (if it helps!)...
<extension
id="com.sample.prjexpextn"
name="sample Project"
point="org.eclipse.ui.navigator.navigatorContent">
<navigatorContent
activeByDefault="true"
contentProvider="com.sample.prjexpextn.cnf.VFileContentProvider "
icon="/icons/designer_folder_tree_icon.gif"
id="com.sample.xpd.projectExplorer.extension"
labelProvider="com.sample.prjexpextn.cnf.VFileLabelProvider "
name="Sample"
priority="high">
<actionProvider
class=" com.sample.prjexpextn.cnf.action.providers.EditActionProvide r "
id="com.sample.prjexpexten.actionProvider.EditAction"
overrides="org.eclipse.ui.navigator.resources.EditActions">
<enablement>
<or>
<and>
<adapt type="org.eclipse.core.resources.IFile" />
<test
...............
</test>
</and>
<and>
<adapt type="org.eclipse.core.resources.IFolder" />
<test
...................
</test>
</and>
</or>
</enablement>
</actionProvider>
</navigatorContent>
</extension>
I believe in order to ensure that these actions RETARGET the original
copy/paste, I have to define them as retargettable actions? CNF as of now
has only one retargettable action
org.eclipse.ui.navigator.ICommonActionConstants.OPEN. So similarly, how do I
register other actions as retarget actions?
Thanks,
Rahul
