Adding actions to context menu [message #325742]

Hi,

I want to add a "New action" to the context menus, so i was using the
extension
"org.eclipse.ui.popupMenus".

My "New Action" should appear only for the specific type of projects.
Lets us say i want it only for c++ project/some other custom projects.
How i have to do it.???

i am also using "objectclass(objectContribution) =
org.eclipse.core.resources.IProject" so that i will get this "New Action"
only for the project types on the context menu.

Any suggestions please.....

Thanks and Regards,
Ravi.

Hi,

i have checked this link,

http://help.eclipse.org/help32/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse. platform.doc.isv/guide/workbench_basicext_popupMenus.htm

That gives some idea to add an action to the context menu, as well as
visibility.
With the help of that i have added an action on the context menu, But that
is always available on the context menu. I want that action to appear only
for the "C/C++ Project types only".

Is there a way to identify the type of project and add the context menu
action???

Thanks and Regards,
Ravi.

Try this...

<enablement>
<and>
<objectState name="nature"
value="org.eclipse.jdt.core.javanature"/>
<objectClass
name="org.eclipse.core.resources.IProject">
</objectClass>
</and>
</enablement>

I don't know what's the equivalent for org.eclipse.jdt.core.javanature
in c/c++ nature.

You can find it out by going to one of your c/c++ project and then open
the .project file. The natures are listed there and I'm sure c/c++ is in
there.

Thanks,

I found out the way to add an action on the context menu for a specific
project type.

<filter
name="projectNature"
value="org.eclipse.cdt.core.cnature">
</filter>
Using this we can filter out only the cProjects.

Regards,
Ravi.
