Generally we hook up all the context menu so registered popup actions
should show up
protected void createContextMenuForGen(StructuredViewer viewer)
{
MenuManager contextMenu = new MenuManager("#PopUp");
contextMenu.add(new Separator("additions"));
contextMenu.setRemoveAllWhenShown(true);
contextMenu.addMenuListener(this);
Menu menu= contextMenu.createContextMenu(viewer.getControl());
viewer.getControl().setMenu(menu);
getSite().*registerContextMenu*(contextMenu, new
UnwrappingSelectionProvider(viewer));
int dndOperations = DND.DROP_COPY | DND.DROP_MOVE | DND.DROP_LINK;
Transfer[] transfers = new Transfer[] {
LocalTransfer.getInstance() };
viewer.addDragSupport(dndOperations, transfers, new
ViewerDragAdapter(viewer));
viewer.addDropSupport(dndOperations, transfers, new
EditingDomainViewerDropAdapter(editingDomain, viewer));
}

It depends a bit how your editor is registered. Often they are
registered against file extensions. If you know which editor you want
to open you should be able to specifically open that editor and avoid
this type of problem...

I have recently asked a question about using selected UI actions in RCP
application in GMF. Since the GMF newsgroup is not as responsive as
EMF, and because the question can be also applied to EMF editor, let me
re-introduce the question here.

Maybe my question was not clear: When we have finished creating an EMF RCP
application, Run Configuration must be set to run
org.example.model.editor.XXXApplication
(org.example.diagram.XXXApplication). The problem is that I have another
Application class in my RCP project which includes other editors and the
EMF (GMF) editor I am trying to add is only one of them, so, I cannot use
the automatically generated editor Application class to run the RCP
application. Then, the question is, how can the editor plugin add its menu
and toolbar items to the *RCP* Application, the above adds these stuff to
the *editor* Application.
As an eclipse plugin which contributes to UI, an EMF (GMF) editor should
be able to add viewparts, menus, etc to an *existing* Application, once
loaded. It seems to me that currently the generated code is only able to
add the UI stuff to its own Application. I hope this is clear now.

I see. As I said, I really don't understand the details of perspectives
and how to work at that level. Maybe this is just an RCP question to be
asked on the RCP newsgroup.

Yes, but I'm not sure how to help. I expect it's a more general RCP
question...
