Hi all,

I have a problem that I want to add menu item to editpart's figure context
menu.
At that menu I want to put action which opens dialog which will work with
model data of that figure.

Thanks,
John Cage

At your editors part class You override configureGraphicalViewer() method
where you are setting a context menu provider.
Your context menu provider class which sholud extend ContextMenuProvider
class should override buildContextMenu() method where you build a context
menu. There you have a manager to which one You can add any action which
extends org.eclipse.jface.action.Action class.

Tell me if it was helpfull for You :) ?

I was quite successful in adding items to context menus with minimal
programming, by tweaking plugin.xml (added objectContribution to
org.eclipse.ui.popupMenus extension point).

However, how do I get rid of unwanted and irrelevant menu items supplied by
the platform by default (in my case, it is "Run As", "Debug As", "Compare
With" and "Replace With")?

I should note that some of the menu items supplied by the platform, in my
case, are quite relevant and work just fine (specifically, Undo, Redo and
Delete).

I don't think there's a way. Inquire on the platform newsgroup.
