core expressions: Find a resource's project, check project natures [message #546615]

Dear all,

I'd like to effect the visibility of some commands depending on whether
the selected resources (e.g. in the package explorer) are contained in a
project with specific natures.

Therefore, I need to determine a selected resource's IProject - is this
possible using core expressions?

Furthermore, there is a projectNatures tester available that is supposed
to return a list of project natures. Can I - again using expressions -
check whether a specific nature ID is contained in that list?

Tx in advance,
Erhard

There is a property tester that can test an IResource to find out a
project nature in the containing project:

http://wiki.eclipse.org/Command_Core_Expressions#Property_Te sters

Depending on what you are doing, though, your expression would probably
look like:

<iterate ifEmpty="false">
<adapt type="org.eclipse.core.resources.IResource">
<test .... />
</adapt>
</iterate>

as the selection from the package explorer is either a Collection
(default variable) or an IStructuredSelection (with variable="selection"
or variable="activeMenuSelection")

I was missing the adapt-part. Works well this way, tx!
