Why objectContribution doesn't work? [message #550747]

There's some objectContribution in third party plugin.
I need it to be available in popup menu in my plugin. If I correctly understand all that I need is to add AdapterFactory that will adapt my selection class type to the type required by objectContribution definition. But for me it didn't work for some reason.

Moreover... I configured adapter factory to adapt any objects:

<factory adaptableType="java.lang.Object"
...
>

In this case the objectContribution appeared in almost all eclipse menus, but my view was not affected... It driving me crazy Confused

Seems the problem is in my plugin that it doesn't accept objectContrubutions, but I can't find what's wrong.

How did you register your context menu?
getSite().registerContextMenu(*) ? What was the exact code?

Just as an aside, make sure your adapt your type to the
objectContribution type you want. Don't add an adapter from Object,
unless you really can adapt *any* type to the target type.
