R3.4 (I know, I know), WinXP

I have a collection of plug-ins for Eclipse, including an extension to
"org.eclipse.ui.navigator.navigatorContent", which defines a
ContentProvider and so on.

I'd like to add yet another <test> using a "property", but do not know
where and how the ids and so on for the "property" test ...

The relevant part of the plugin.xml looks like this (in a <triggerPoints>):

<and>
<instanceof value="org.eclipse.core.resources.IProject" />
<test forcePluginActivation="true"
property="org.eclipse.core.resources.projectNature"
value="com.mun.ist.project.myprojectnature"/>
</and>

So -- where do I look up what property values are already defined? and
how would I plug in a new one?

(I did look at the extension-point definition, of course, and also at
http://help.eclipse.org/galileo/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse .platform.doc.isv/guide/cnf.htm,
and at some other sites found via google, but no luck ...)

thanks
Paul
