Hey,

I am adding an action to a TableViewers context menu in a different plug-in using the popupMenu extension.

Now, what I want is to only show this menu item when a certain perspective is active.


Please advise Smile

Well, popupMenus/objectContributions supports enablement, which is the
core expressions enablement. That's extensible enough that you could
write a property tester of some kind and find out if you're in the right
perspective.

Hey Paul,

thanks for your reply.

Could you help me a little more here? Because I don't really know where to start right now.

Oh, I am using a viewerContribution.

You're out of luck, then. It only works for objectContributions. You
should consider org.eclipse.ui.menus and commands/handlers. Partly
because it is the command framework, but also because the visibleWhen
can be used more expressively than the objectClass/objectState code.

A good starting point on our use of core expressions:
