This is a simple question, but I haven't found anything at all about it. I know
how to add items to existing RCP menus, but how should I create my own context
menus in my 3.1 RCP app? These menus will be used for my controls.
For example, I have a TableViewer. Should I go down to SWT and use
viewer.getTable().setMenu(...)? Is there a JFace way to do it? Is there an RCP
way to do it, maybe that will all me to use extensions to add extra items? I
would like to choose the most powerful approach and do it right from the
beginning.
Thanks!

You must always create the context menu through code at least once.
Then if you only want to add actions to it, you just add your actions
while your createPartControl(*) is called.
Then, if you want to allow plugin.xml contributions to it, you call
getSite().registerContextMenu(*) with appropriate parameters. You can
do all of your actions through plugin.xml, but you still have to
instantiate the MenuManager, attach it to the control, and call
registerContextMenu(*).
