Has anyone managed to add a main menu using the .gmftool associating in the
..gmfmap and it appears in the diagram ?

Just can't get any menu to appear using the various .gmf files and editors.

Im using M5 build.

Hello stu,

This feature is not implemented yet. Should be in future.

Ok, so I want to call a "action" method from the diagram.
What method are implemented that I can use ?
Maybe toolbar ? (I couldnt get that to work from the GMF editor files
either).

Any suggestions would be great,

Stu

Hi,

Since the documentation for GMF Menu was quite poor I just added a menu
with Eclipse normal extension point (see org.eclipse.ui.editorActions
extension point and then menu and action tags, then inherits /
implements (I)ActionDelegate / IEditorActionDelegate in a class).

Perhaps you should just do that.

Does that mean the toolbar stuff is also not implemented from the editors ?

Im guessing all menu stuff (toolbar, main menu and context menu), is that
right ?

Ok I found the extension point stuff in the tutorial (not sure how I missed
it the first time - maybe because I didn;t really understand it).

Ok my issue now is - I don;t understand how these extension points work - is
there a good tutorial. I've gone over the GMF bit in tutorial 3 and I think
it assumes knowledge of extension points. So how do I get that :-)

Thanks in advance,

Stu

An extension point is like the "not yet connected" side of a piece of
puzzle :)

I found my happiness in the book "the Java developer's guid to Eclipse"
but you can also see http://help.eclipse.org/help32/index.jsp. I think
there is enough explanations. You can also look in some plugin examples
in the CVS, they all use extensions points, be sure :)!

Ok a few pointer for us beginners :-)

Open up the MANIFEST and go to extension.
Click add and check out the wizards on the second tab.
The hello world example implements a simple extension which is nice to
follow.

Youmm P thanks for the pointers.
