Adding "create child" to project explorer [message #420625]

Hi!

IŽm new to EMF and could really need some help.
My assignment is to add the same menu options (create child/sibling) that
can be seen in the outline view to the project explorer where the EObjects
also are shown.
The point of doing this would be to later only use the project explorer
and skip the outline view.
Is this at all possible?
Could the ActionBarContributors be reused in some way?

Kind regards
Karin

I wonder if anyone has done this already who might be able to give advice...

I'm pretty sure this is possible. I think there was some discussion
related to it in https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=206778.

Unfortunately I don't know much about how the project explorer works.
If you support editing, of course the issue of saving will come up, and
I'm not sure how that's normally handled. I think generally the changes
are committed to the workspace immediately, but I'm not sure about
that. Even if the action bar contributor isn't directly reusable,
certainly the underlying design and code is a good example of what you'd
need to do.

Here is an example that uses the Common Navigator Framework (CNF) to
browse the emf model. Unfortunately, no Actions/Commands are implemented:
