Hello,

I just started to learn how to develop an Eclipse plugin.
I would like to use it in Papyrus (the UML/SysML modeler).

I would like to add an element in the right click menu if the selected element is a block (a block is a SysML stereotype) with a custom profile (called "myStereotype").

My XML now looks like that :

            <command
                  commandId="TestPopupMenu.commands.sampleCommand"
                  mnemonic="S"
                  id="TestPopupMenu.menus.sampleCommand">
                  <visibleWhen>
						<with variable="activeMenuSelection">
							<iterate ifEmpty="false">
								???
							</iterate>
						</with>
				</visibleWhen> 
            </command>

How to check if the selected element has the profile "myStereotype" ?

I found "instanceof" on Eclipse' website:
https://help.eclipse.org/neon/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.platform.doc.isv%2Fguide%2Fworkbench_cmd_expressions.htm

Is it the right thing to use ?

Thank you very much!

Hi Jules,

We don't know papyrus. Maybe you should ask in that forum. If you want to test on a tree item element, it might be possible to use the plugin spy ALT+SHIFT+F1 to get the class. You can use the class of the selected object in the core expression.

Another idea is to inspect the menu entries of the papyrus plugins. If you can find one of their menu options maybe you can mimic it.

Best regards,

Wim
