Hi all
Actually I need to perform some checking and save some information whenever there is a copy in the navigator view , same with paste action also.
I was trying all the possible ways . I first tried with the common navigator based on the article " http://scribbledideas.blogspot.com/2006/05/building-common-n avigator-based-viewer.html"
But my actiongroup were never called.
Then I tried with global action handler , but that only triggers when we click through the top menu, not through the context menu,
I finally tried with
<command
name="%command.copy.name"
description="%command.copy.description"
categoryId="org.eclipse.ui.category.edit"
id="org.eclipse.ui.edit.copy"
default
Again my handler is never called .
I think there is some problem with way of thinking
Can someone give some ideas?
Anyway I just need to trigger my class whenever there is a copy or paste in th the package explorer , that is what I need

The way I override copy and paste is by using actionProvider in my
navigatorContent extension point.
<actionProvider
class="....action.providers.EditActionProvider"
id=".......explorer.actionProvider.EditAction"
overrides="org.eclipse.ui.navigator.resources.actions.EditActions ">
<enablement>
.............
</enablement>
</actionProvider>
I have defined an actionProvider to override the Edit actions (cut, copy,
paste, delete) as above. Then in my actionProvider class which extends
CommonActionProvider, in the fillActionBars method, I set the
globalActionHandler on the actionBars object with the arguments
ActionFactory.Copy/Paste.getId against my custom copy/paste actions.
That's pretty much it. The scribbledideas blog is of great use! So also you
could repost your query with [CNF] in the subject and you might get some
help from Francis Uptown/Paul Webster. You could refer to Paul's blog at
http://pweclipse.blogspot.com/ for how to do what you wish to achieve using
commands and handlers which would be a better approach.
Thanks,
Rahul
