Invasion of context menu by Team, Compare With, ... [message #1828588]

I am creating a context menu for a tree view. Some other plugin is adding items to that context menu, specifically adding menu items for:

Team
Compare With
Replace With
Source
Validate

This may not happen immediately on start, but as soon as I switch to a view such as Project Explorer and back, they appear. My context menu does have a unique id assigned.

How do I insure that only the menu items that I put on my context menu appear?

(If this is not the proper forum, can someone suggest one that might help?)

This isn't really an EGit question because all kinds of things generally get added to popup/context menus. I'm not sure how you are creating the menu but probably you are calling org.eclipse.ui.IWorkbenchPartSite.registerContextMenu(MenuManager, ISelectionProvider) to register it and that makes it available for all the registered extensions to the popup menu.

To avoid the context menu filling up with things that I don't want, I use a hack like this one:
