[GMF] Adding options to DropDown-Menu of a Node [message #759108]

Hello,

i got a model containing the following node.


class Reference {
   attr String name;
   attr String path;
}

i post it modelled with emfatic here.

I want to add an option to the Dropdown-Menu of this node.
So when i add one Reference Node to canvas, and right click on it, i want to have a new option called "Set path..." where i can use my own javacode to get a popup.

How can i add such an option ? Can i use my own javacode in it ?

Greetings
Snakebyte

With GMF Tooling, you can do that by adding the necessary tool into the
..gmftool. However, I think your problem is more related to EMFatic.
You'd rather try to have an answer by asking the EMFatic people.

To be honest, I don't know.
I always prefer using the general Eclipse way to do so, using the
org.eclipse.ui.menus extension point

Hi,

I think you cannot add this via GMF Tool. As far as I know is there something to add these defined in the gmftool meta-model but it is not implemented in the transformations that produce the java code.
