Simple Modification of generated EMF editor [message #398548]

Hi,
I'm trying to make a simple modification to the generated EMF editor, all
I want to do is add some context menu actions for a couple of my EMF
classes when right-clicked in the default editor. I've made context
contributions in the past by using the eclipse.popup menu extension point.
However this does not seem like the right approach. I also looked through
the generated editor/edit code but am a little intimidated by it all
(in-fact still having nightmares). Can anyone give me some suggestions as
to how I can go about adding my actions to the context menu without having
to make a lot of modifications? - Duncan

Duncan,

We use popups like this in org.eclipse.emf.ecore.editor/plugin.xml:

<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.popupMenus">
<objectContribution id="org.eclipse.emf.ecore.editor.Open"
objectClass="org.eclipse.core.resources.IFile">
<menu id="org.eclipse.emf.ecore.editor.Open"
label="%_UI_OpenAs_menu_item" path="org.eclipse.ui.OpenWithSubMenu">
<separator name="additions" />
</menu>

<action
id="org.eclipse.emf.ecore.editor.OpenXMLReflectiveEditorAction "
label="%_UI_EMFXML_menu_item"
menubarPath="org.eclipse.emf.ecore.editor.Open/additions"
class="org.eclipse.emf.ecore.action.OpenEditorAction" enablesFor="1">
</action>

<action
id="org.eclipse.emf.ecore.editor.OpenReflectiveEditorAction "
label="%_UI_EMFXMI_menu_item"
menubarPath="org.eclipse.emf.ecore.editor.Open/additions"
class="org.eclipse.emf.ecore.action.OpenEditorAction" enablesFor="1">
</action>
</objectContribution>

<objectContribution
id="org.eclipse.emf.ecore.editor.CreateDynamicInstance"
objectClass="org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EClass">
<action
id="org.eclipse.emf.ecore.editor.CreateDynamicInstanceAction "
label="%_UI_CreateDynamicInstance_menu_item" menubarPath="additions"
class="org.eclipse.emf.ecore.action.CreateDynamicInstanceAction "
enablesFor="1">
</action>
</objectContribution>
</extension>

It's a simple way. Why don't you think it's the right approach in your
case?

Ed thanks,
Not sure what I missed the first time but I followed through the example
you gave me and got it working. - Duncan
