| Common Navigator - Global menu contributions [message #336095] |

I am trying to make an RCP project with an own 'ProjectExplorer' view
derived from the Common Navigator. The view appears properly and displays
the project contents, so far so good, but I have problems setting up its
menu contributions. The popup menu of the view works fine, it has a
"New->Project" entry automatically. Now, what I'm after is to get that
"New->Project" to appear also in the global workbench's 'File' menu.
Is it possible to get the Common Navigator to not only produce that
'New->Project' entry in its PopupMenu but also to produce those menu
entries (and of course those entries linked to the proper actions, i.e. a
NewProject wizard should open when clicking on 'File->New->Project') in
the global menu bar?
Here is a copy of the relevant parts of my RCP application's plugin.xml
file:
<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.views">
<view
name="Project Explorer"
class="org.eclipse.ui.navigator.CommonNavigator"
id="compmodelling.view.project">
</view>
</extension>
<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.navigator.viewer">
<viewerActionBinding viewerId="compmodelling.view.project">
<includes>
<actionExtension
pattern="org.eclipse.ui.navigator.resources.*" />
</includes>
</viewerActionBinding>
<viewerContentBinding viewerId="compmodelling.view.project">
<includes>
<contentExtension
pattern="org.eclipse.ui.navigator.resourceContent" />
<contentExtension
pattern="org.eclipse.ui.navigator.resources.filters.*"/>
<contentExtension
pattern="org.eclipse.ui.navigator.resources.linkHelper"/>
<contentExtension
pattern="org.eclipse.ui.navigator.resources.workingSets"/>
</includes>
</viewerContentBinding>
</extension>

Hi,
I think I wrongly assumed the Common Navigator owns the "New>Project..."
and "New>Examples..." entries etc.. That's why I thought I must be able to
tell it somehow to put these entries not only in its popup menu but also
to contribute them to the workbench menu. Well, it looks like you CAN'T
tell it to do that.
So, you have to setup that file>New menu yourself. How to do that?...After
searching around quite blindly, I finally stumbled upon some classes in
the the 'org.eclipse.ui.actions' package.
The 'ActionFactory' and 'ContributionItemFactory' in there were kind of
known and I (possibly again wrongly) assumed that they were capable of
manufacturing all items necessary for setting up menus. But this here is
eclipse, so obviously that would be too easy a solution!...in the same
package there is another class, 'NewWizardMenu', which doesn't get
manufactured, and THAT is what I was looking for. In the defining plugin
of your RCP application there will be a class called 'XXXActionBarAdvisor'
with a 'fillMenuBar()' method. Here's the code snippet of what should be
in there to show the standard "File>New>Project..." "File>New>Examples..."
etc. entries:
protected void fillMenuBar(IMenuManager menu) {
IMenuManager fileMenu = new MenuManager(
Messages.ApplicationMenuName_File,
IWorkbenchActionConstants.M_FILE);
fileMenu.add(new
GroupMarker(IWorkbenchActionConstants.FILE_START));
IMenuManager fileNewMenu = new MenuManager(
Messages.ApplicationMenuName_New, "new");
NewWizardMenu newWizardMenu = new
NewWizardMenu(this.getWindow(), "some.id.of.your.wild.choice");
fileNewMenu.add(newWizardMenu);
GroupMarker(IWorkbenchActionConstants.MB_ADDITIONS));
fileMenu.add(fileNewMenu);
...
(other menu setups like EDIT, HELP)

Andy,
not sure whether this is answers your question... what we do is we add
the (internal) NewActionProvider for non-resource elements contributed
by my navigator extensions:
<!-- Adds the New wizards to non-resource VCML elements -->
<actionProvider
class=" org.eclipse.ui.internal.navigator.resources.actions.NewActio nProvider "
overrides="org.eclipse.ui.navigator.resources.NewActions">
<enablement>
<and>
<adapt type="com.example.model.MyCustomElement" />
<not><adapt type="org.eclipse.core.resources.IResource" /></not>
</and>
</enablement>
</actionProvider>
HTH, tom
