Hi,
I'm quite new to teh Eclipse plugin architecture and I'm having difficulty figuring out how to use the extensions for creating context-sensitive menus in various eclipse views.
I used the "custom template -> hello world command contribution" example project as a starting point, and then looked at Vogella: http://www.vogella.com/tutorials/EclipseCommands/article.html#tutorial-commands-and-menus
So I have something which sort of works; but the problem is it only works in the "Project Explorer" view. I want the same context menu to be available in other views (say the "Package Explorer" for example). What is the best way to achieve this?
I also want to filter out (make the context menu not visible) anything but directories named "Steps", again this works in the project explorer, but I don't undestand the syntax used to do this. Can anybody explain how the filter is working (i.e. the "iterate", "adapt", "test" elements).
My current plugin.xml looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?eclipse version="3.4"?>
<plugin>
<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.commands">
<category
name="Sample Category"
id="TestPopUpMenu.commands.category">
</category>
<command
name="Sample Command"
categoryId="TestPopUpMenu.commands.category"
id="TestPopUpMenu.commands.sampleCommand">
</command>
</extension>
<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.handlers">
<handler
commandId="TestPopUpMenu.commands.sampleCommand"
class="testpopupmenu.handlers.SampleHandler">
</handler>
</extension>
<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.bindings">
<key
commandId="TestPopUpMenu.commands.sampleCommand"
contextId="org.eclipse.ui.contexts.window"
sequence="M1+6"
schemeId="org.eclipse.ui.defaultAcceleratorConfiguration">
</key>
</extension>
<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.menus">
<menuContribution
allPopups="false"
locationURI="popup:org.eclipse.ui.popup.any">
<menu
id="TestPopUpMenu.menus.sampleMenu"
label="Sample Menu"
mnemonic="m">
<command
commandId="TestPopUpMenu.commands.sampleCommand"
id="TestPopUpMenu.menus.sampleCommand"
mnemonic="S">
<visibleWhen
checkEnabled="false">
<iterate>
<adapt
type="org.eclipse.core.resources.IResource">
<test
property="org.eclipse.core.resources.name"
value="Steps">
</test>
</adapt>
</iterate>
</visibleWhen>
</command>
</menu>
</menuContribution>
</extension>
</plugin>
Thanks in advance :)
