Retrieving Menu Contributions programmatically [message #537950]

Fri, 04 June 2010 05:57

Eclipse User

Is there a possibility to determine the context menu of a given object? There must be one, because this is done in the Eclipse UI ...
The Use Case is: Menu Contributions are defined in plugins and the should exposed via a kind of web service to a web application ... so that valid context menus can be retrieved by using the Eclipse RCP techniques.

Where could I start searching?

Thank you
Heinrich

You cannot access a view's context menu, or their view menu, etc (at
least not really).

But you can take an arbitrary ContributionManager and populate it with
the org.eclipse.ui.menus extension point contributions.

See
org.eclipse.ui.menus.IMenuService.populateContributionManage r(ContributionManager,
String) and
org.eclipse.ui.menus.IMenuService.releaseContributions(Contr ibutionManager)
