I have created an action that will create a new shape attached to a 1-n
selection of elements (kind of like the note). The problem is that I can
only give the popupStructuredContributionCriteria one objectClass
attribute, while the selection may consist of different types of shapes.
Right now I derived my editparts and made them implement the same
interface. When I set the objectClass to the interface, the action will
appear in my context menu when I select multiple nodes, so, so far so good.
My question -- is there a way to do this without creating the interface?
As in doing it in the XML definition?

The editparts' parents are the GMF base ShapeNodeEditPart, so that would
be too general. I'll experiment a bit with this method thing, not sure
how this works yet.
Thanks.

Right now I solved it using a PopupMenuContributionPolicy (policyClass
in the XML) which appears to work nicely, too!
by the way, there is not "method" attribute in
popupStructuredContributionCriteria ... ;)
