Hi,
I have successfully used the popupMenus extentionpoint to extend the context
menu (upon a user selection for a specif file in the resource tree)
This works when I specify the static content in the plugin.xml file (by
using objectContribution, menu and action tags).
But how to achive dynamic content?
Here is what I want to achive:
The file a.xml contains three xml enteties: ent1, ent2, ent3
When the user selects a.xml in the resource tree and selects the file
context menu, the entry 'Show Enteties' appear. The 'Show Enteties' menu has
a
child menu with the entries 'ent1','ent2' and 'ent3'
I think I know how to do this using the MenuManager, but since I'm trying to
dynamicly extend a menu from another plug-in I'm not sure how to do this.
Any help appreciated.

Hello T'pau (mother of Spock?)
I had this problem myself I while ago. And it took me some time to figure it
out. You did not specify which version of Eclispe you are targeting, but the
solution
I found works for 3.02 (at least)
Here is a good description of the solution:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/attachment.cgi?id=8223
(I'm not sure if this document is written before 3.0 because the class
ContextualLaunchObjectActionDelegate seams to in 3.0 be called in
ContextualLaunchAction)
Acatually I set up almost the same thing that you described, so I'm pretty
sure that this solution is what you are looking for.
