get the standard context menu on custom objects [message #326006]

Hi,

I'm having a slight problem here figuring out how I get the standard
navigator context menu on my custom objects.

The contentprovider provides a hierarchy of

Project
Suite

objects and when I right-click on a suite I don't get any context menu.

So how can I let eclipse know that I'd like to get the same menu as for a
folder there?

Andreas,

Maybe if the object is an IAdaptable and adapts to an IFolder.class it
will work...

That doesn't work unfortunately (though if I read the plugin.xml from
org.eclipse.ui.navigator.resource properly it should work). However I can't
do that anyway, as I'm working with objects that do not know they are
IFolders.

I'm just trying to find a way to do this without having to duplicate some
code from the ActionProviders in the eclipse plugins.
