Hey guys,

we are adding a menu item to the context menu item of the Project Explorer.

OVERVIEW

======================================================

This works fine, with the following code in the plugin.xml:

<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.menus">
    <menuContribution locationURI="popup:org.eclipse.ui.navigator.ProjectExplorer#PopupMenu?after=export">
         <command
        	   commandId="com.ourMenuEntry"
               mnemonic="P" 
               label="%doSomething" >
         </command>
      </menuContribution>
  </extension>

With this code our menu entry appears after the menu entry "Export...".
We checked the ID of the "Export"-menu entry with the Plugin Spy, and we used "export", because it's the active contribution item identifier.

===============================================

OUR PROBLEM

NOW.....
we want that our menu entry is the first one in the Project Explorer context menu.
But the first menu entry is "New" (which has sub-menu entries) and we do not know which ID we should use, in the "after"-property...

Is there a way to find this out? Or is there another way to define the place of the menu entry, like an index or something?

Thanks for your help + kind regards! =)
