hi,

i'm migrating a plugin using an old popupMenu extension to Neon.

My extension is using an overrideActionId to replace an already registered action in the IDE with a new one.

i cannot find any example of migrating it to e4. is it possible ?

Thanks for help !

here is my plugin.xml snippet :

<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.popupMenus">
           <objectContribution
			adaptable="true"
			id="team.UnmanagedFileContributions"
			nameFilter="*.elements"
			objectClass="org.eclipse.core.resources.IFile">
			<action
				class="CompareAction"
				enablesFor="2+"
				id="compareWithEachOther"
				label="Each Other"
				menubarPath="compareWithMenu/compareWithGroup"
				overrideActionId="org.eclipse.team.ui.compareWithEachOther"
				tooltip="Compare the Selected Resources">
			</action>
           </objectContribution>
</extension>

The popupMenus extension point was deprecated by the "new" menus extension point introduced in Eclipse 3.5
The menus extension point is still valid in Eclipse 4 IDEs.

Maybe, this tutorial helps:
