Add code to read my extension point and update editor menu [message #460889]

Hello,

using 3.3M4 with Java 1.5, I created my own extension in my RCP application.

I created my editor using org.eclipse.ui.editors and org.eclipse.ui.editorActions.

I also have my own new extension point, which should add menu entries for my editor, so other plugin will be able to contribute. I have the code to read the extension point entries, but I don't know where to branch that code.

I tried in the createPartControl function of my EditorPart, but then I get multiple menu entries each time I open several editors.

What is the correct place to add my code ?

Happy New Year,
Pascal Wassong

Editor context menu or menus from the main tool bar?

I want to update the menu from the main toolbar.

By the way, I found a workaround but I am not satisfied with it. In the function createPartControl of my EditorPart, I cound the number of editor of my type, and if this number is 1, I update the menu with my info. There must be a better than counting.
Below is my current code:

	int nb = 0;
	IEditorReference[] editors = PlatformUI.getWorkbench()
	.getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActivePage().getEditorReferences();
	for (IEditorReference editor : editors) {
	    if (editor.getId().equals(GameEditor.ID)) {
		nb++;
	    }
	}
	if (nb == 1) {
		IMenuManager menuBar = getEditorSite().getActionBars().getMenuManager();
		IMenuManager menu = menuBar.findMenuUsingPath("game_menu/conditions_menu");
		IExtensionRegistry registry = Platform.getExtensionRegistry();
	        IExtensionPoint extensionPoint = registry.getExtensionPoint("fr.wassong.iNatch.conditions");         
	 IExtension[] extensions = extensionPoint.getExtensions();
	        for (IExtension extension : extensions) {
	            IConfigurationElement[] elements = extension.getConfigurationElements();
	            for (IConfigurationElement element : elements) {
	        	menu.add(new ConditionAction(
	        	    element.getAttribute("id"),
	        	    element.getAttribute("name"),
	        	    element.getAttribute("class"))); 
	            }
	        }
 	}

Take a look at EditorActionBarContributor and its subclasses.

And the link with the editor is made through the "contributorClass" element in the "editor" extension definition for my editor.

Thank you for your help.
