Hello,
I'm attempting to add a submenu to my editors context menu. I'm using the
xml below to define the menu, and it appears correctly, but does not
operate (returns an error dialog "The chosen operation is not currently
available").
<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.popupMenus">
<viewerContribution
id="org.eclipse.ui.articles.action.contribution.popup.editor "
targetID="#TextEditorContext">
<menu
id=" org.eclipse.ui.articles.action.contribution.navigator.highli ghtMenu "
label="Highlight"
path="additions">
<separator name="highlightGroup"/>
</menu>
<action
id=" org.eclipse.ui.articles.action.contribution.navigator.highli ghtBlue "
label="Blue"
icon="icons/sample.gif"
menubarPath=" org.eclipse.ui.articles.action.contribution.navigator.highli ghtMenu/highlightGroup "
class="tvnavtraceviewer.actions.HighlightAction">
</action>
</viewerContribution>
</extension>
From what I can tell, this is because it's not associated with a selection
provider, but I haven't been able to properly make this association.
I realize I should be using the 'registerContextMenu' method, but I don't
understand what I should be using for parameters. I believe I have
everything correct below, aside from the MenuManager instance... how should
I be getting and/or creating this instance?
this.getEditorSite().registerContextMenu(
" org.eclipse.ui.articles.action.contribution.navigator.highli ghtMenu ",
new
MenuManager(" org.eclipse.ui.articles.action.contribution.navigator.highli ghtMenu "),
getEditorSite().getSelectionProvider());
Thanks,
Jeff

It turns out that my implementation class had to implement the
IEditorActionDelegate interface. I don't understand why, though, as I
haven't had to implement this interface for my other context menu items.
