Writing custom visibleWhen rules [message #551243]

Greetings,

I am writing an eclipse plugin and contributing to the right-click menu in the package explorer. I want my menu item to be visible when specific packages are selected based on predifined path. i.e. lets assume that my package hierarcy is as following(cap,svc and subordinate will be hardcoded keywords to define the path):
-cap
----svc
-------a
----------b
-------c
----------subordinate
-------------d

I need this menu item to be visible when package 'a', 'c' and 'd' are selected but i don't want it to be visible for the rest of the packages (i.e. b)
i can make it visible for 'a' and 'c' by:
<visibleWhen>
<iterate>
<adapt type="org.eclipse.core.resources.IResource">
<test property="org.eclipse.core.resources.path" value="/*/cap/svc/*"/>
</adapt>
</iterate>
</visibleWhen>

but i can not make it also visible to 'd' while not being visible to 'b'
can anyone help on this issue?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Ozan.

I'm not sure specifically, but I'll bet there's an example floating around somewhere that Google Code Search can find.

Something to do with some of the Boolean logic tags (<or>, <not>, etc) I'd imagine.
