Problem with contributing to Eclipse Search menu [message #336968]

Thu, 16 July 2009 18:18

Eclipse User

I am trying to make contribution to Eclipse Search menu, but my
command/menu item doesn't show in the Search menu. I use locationURI
menu:org.eclipse.search.menu?after=fileSearchConte xtMenuActionsGroup (or
after=additions), but item doesn't show in the Search menu.

If I move the command reference to my menu or to any other Eclipse menu
like menu:project, the menu item appears.

I do have org.eclipse.search in Dependencies.

Here is snippet from plugin.xml:

<menuContribution
locationURI="menu:org.eclipse.search.menu?after=fi
leSearchContextMenuActionsGroup">
<command
commandId="my.ui.plugin.commands.searchInScanResul tsCommand"
icon="icons/swirl.gif"
id="my.ui.plugin.menus.searchInScanResultsCommand "
mnemonic="R"
style="push">
</command>
</menuContribution>

I would appreciate any help. Thanks, Lubos

After looking at org.eclipse.search source code, Eclipse Search menu
(org.eclipse.search.menu) doesn't support Command contributions, so you
cannot use org.eclipse.ui.menus extension point to make Search menu
contribution. You have to use action sets and org.eclipse.ui.actionSets
extension point and use menubarPath org.eclipse.search.menu/dialogGroup
(for example) for your action.
