Refactoring menu entry [message #260062]

Hi all

We are working on the cross-language refactoring.
In Groovy it is possible to mix up Groovy and Java classes.

When you use a Groovy element in Java, and try to start a
rename-refactoring from the java-editor the refactoring menu entry is not
shown (because java can't rename binary sources).

Our idea is now, make a new menu entry, which is just shown, if the binary
type implements the GroovyObject interface.

But how can i make a new menu entry in the refactoring section of the jdt?

And after this, it would be nice to have the same hotkey-shortcut to the
rename refactoring.
is it possible, to overwrite the shortcut? or how can i disable the
java-refactoring?

Thanks guys for your help!

It depends on whether you provide your own editor or not. If you use
your own editor then you can simply provide your own scope aka context
and register your new rename action but if you want to do this on top of
the existing Java editor then it might be very hard to disable the Java
rename.

I can add a menu entry on the context menu.
(rightclick on the code in the jdt )

.... i postet a bit tooo fast :)

as i said, i have the entry in the context menu, in the java editor.
But not in the "Refactoring" sub-menu.

I tried a lot of different ways, but nothing realy worked.

Someone has an idea how to push the menu-entry in the submenu?

Thanks very much for your help
