add an action to submenu [message #1734466]

I need to add a new command/action to an already existing context menu. Facing problem in uploading the screenshot so I am explaining the problem in words- if we open any project in 'Artop' perspective, we get a package by name 'AUTOSAR' in the list of resources of the project. On right clicking 'AUTOSAR' package(ArPackageImpl object), a context menu with various commands like new child, open in editor, open references etc. is opened.When right clicked on the 'new child' option, there is a submenu opening with the options annotations, ar packages, blueprint policies etc.

The issue now is, I am unable to find the ID of this 'submenu' to add a new command(or action) to it.

using plugin spy, it showed - The active contribution location URI: menu:null?after=additions The active contribution item class: CreateChildAction The contributing plug-in: org.eclipse.emf.edit.ui (2.10.2.v20150123-0452).

Thinking that this submenu does not have an id, I debugged the program to add it programmatically. I found getNewChildDescriptors() method in org.eclipse.sphinx.emf.explorer.actions.providers.BasicModelEditActionProvider class doing the trick(dint understand the logic though). Could anybody please help me achieve this task either by overriding this method or using any extention point.

not able to understand what getNewChildDescriptors() is doing. How child descriptors and the corresponding actions are linked?

You mention emf.edit and sphinx in your previous message, your questions
are not related to Sirius.

It looks like you should go to the Sphinx/EMF forum to ask your question:
.. Forum Sphinx: https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/f/171/
.. Forum EMF: https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/f/108/
