Hey there,

currently i am having problems in registering a contextmenu using the EMenuService on a Circle node. I am able to register a ContexMenu on a TableViewer in my code, so the setup of the menu should be okay. However, if i try to register the menu on a circle node it doesn't work, see the following code of my @PostConstruct method which is declared in my part.
The code example that works:

    @Inject
    EMenuService menuService;
    StackPane stackPane;
    
    @PostConstruct
    public void postConstruct(final BorderPane p) {
        stackPane = new StackPane();        
        final TableView<MyObject> myTable = new TableView<MyObject>();
        stackPane.getChildren()
        .add(myTable );
        p.setCenter(stackPane);
        menuService.registerContextMenu(myTable , "de.test.popupmenu.0");        
    }

The code example that does not work:

    @Inject
    EMenuService menuService;
    StackPane stackPane;

    @PostConstruct
    public void postConstruct(final BorderPane p) {
        stackPane = new StackPane();
        final Circle cir = new Circle(50);
        stackPane.getChildren()
               .add(cir);
        p.setCenter(stackPane);
        menuService.registerContextMenu(cir, "de.test.popupmenu.0");        
    }

What am i missing here?
Is there anything special to circle nodes compared to TabelView?
Thanks in adavnce

JavaFX does not have a context menu implementation on Node but that API
is found on Control!

You can file a bug-report asking use to implement context-menus on any
Node provided, as of today I think simply skip none control-nodes provided.

Probably the issue is that TableView is a Control while Circle is a Shape. I haven't looked into the EMenuService implementation of e(fx)clipse now, but I suppose that might be the issue.
