adding menuitem to the "Open With" sub menu in Popup Menu of the resource navigator view [message #62312]

Hi,
I want to add a menu item to the "open with" sub menu of the pop up
menu that arise when we right click in the resource navigator view.
I don't want to do it programatically.
I want to set it through plugin.xml.
I hope one way to do it is to use the editor extension point and associate
the particular extension with our editor.
But I have problem in doing so I want my editor to come for all files
irrespective of extension, further my editor should not be the default
editor for the files that has already been associated with some other
editor.
A good example I can give is text editor.We can open any file with the text
editor using "open with" options in the popup menu but the text editor won't
be the default editor for the files that has some other editor assigned as
default editor.

Thanks,
MorPheus

I do not believe this is possible with the current API. Open a bug report
