Hello,

since GEF uses Commandos, I have a lot of Commandos which I would use
in my Context Menus. Also I have Actions which should be registered in
my CommandoStack. But I can't add Commandos to my menus and I can't
add Actions to my CommandoStack.

Am I'm missing something ? I'm not quite sure how the ActionRegistry
comes into play here.

What I want to do now, is something like a ExecuteCommandAction which
gets the Command and the CommandStack and just executes it. So I can
add the Commandos to the menu (via the ExecuteCommandAction) and they
are registered in the CommandStack.

Any comments will be welcome.

Volker

These two words have almost the same meaning in English, but are being used
in two distinct ways withing GEF/Eclipse. I think you have the intended
meanings reversed.

We are re-working the way actions are done. More will be posted on this
later.

Why ?
If I have a DeleteConnectionCommand for my ConnectionEditPolicy and
I want to add this functionality to the context menu of my Editor
I can't do this, because I can't add Commands to the MenuManager.

Instead of writing a DeleteConnectionAction with exactly the same
functionality I have written an ActionWrapper for Commands.

Commands contain specific instance data, like which object is being deleted.

You don't want to put a specific Command on the context menu. You want to
put an Action, which obtains a specific DeleteCommand based on what is
selected.
