Mike,
It sounds like you want an object action more like our Create Dynamic
Instance... action on EClass, right?

That was my thinking to the original question. In the generated editors
you can see how context menus are registered in createContextMenuFor and
you'll not their isn't a global target ID you can just hook into.

When you talk about class here, do you mean EClass with EAttributes of
type EDataType?

So is it like the object action registered again EClass which will
appear on any *properly registered* context menu:
protected void createContextMenuFor(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));

So it's more an action on an IFile, like the Reload... action on a
*.genmodel file? You see why I'm getting confuse?

Just a little. :-P

I've never used a viewer contribution before. You can look in the
plugin.xml for org.eclipse.emf.ecore.editor and
org.eclipse.emf.codegen.ecore.ui to see how we register the things that
already appear...

There really isn't one as far as I understand it...

I don't really understand what EMF modeling plugin refers to.

It would be good to look in the plugin.xmls to see how something similar
is doing it...

Probably slightly, but that's certainly understandable given there are
so many different tricky ways to do the menu stuff...

That was my thinking to the original question.
