Create a submenu with 2 menu items under Team in popupMenu [message #556974]

Hi,

I have been struggling with this for a while.
When I have a resource selected and right click I get the popupMenu. In the popupMenu I want to add:

Team
Checkedout State
Reserved --> Unreserved
Unreserved --> Reserved

I have the following in my plugin.xml but MenuItem "Checkedout State" does not appear under the team menu ( and of course the other two does not either). Here is how my plugin.xml looks like:

<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.popupMenus">

If you are going to try this:

> id="net.sourceforge.eclipseccase.ui.popups.checkedoutstate"
> label="Checkedout State"

it seems to me your menubarPath will be
" team.main/net.sourceforge.eclipseccase.ui.popups.checkedouts tate/res2unres "

Hi,

I tried your suggestion but SubMenu, "Checkedout State", is not visible under Team. And of course the other two "Reserved -->Unreserved" and "Unreserved-->Reserved" does not show.
I cannot understand what I am doing wrong. Is it that complicated?

You didn't mention there were errors in your error log:

Apparently objectContributions menus cannot depend on other
objectContributions (which makes sense, actionSets can't reliably depend
on other actionSets). objectContributions work by processing all of the
menus first, and then the actions second (that's why your action can see
team.main, but your menu cannot).

Hi Paul,

What a great service. I guess you installed the plugin and check the log. Thanks.
So the <menu> should be before <action> otherwise it will not be visible. I could not have figured that one out myself Razz

Anyway. That was great help.

Thanks!

Have a nice day.

I tried to move the <menu> tag before <action> inside <objectContribution> but the menus are still not visible.

I'm saying that you cannot have a menu depend on a menu from another
objectContribution.

But, you could use org.eclipse.ui.menus to add that menu using
popup:team.main.

Then it should be available

Hi,

I worked with it for a while and I still cannot reproduce what I have in the actionSet menu ( whish I could post a picture but I cannot) in
<menuContribution
locationURI="popup:team.main?after=additions">

In this I want:
(Menu)
Checkout State> Reserved -->Unreserved (Submenu)
Unreserved-->Reserved (Submenu)

How do I add my menu with submenu's ?

br,
