org.eclipse.ui.menus ext point problem [message #641592]

Hello
I want to add a popup menu to an existing popup menu.

The existing popup menu is using the old style org.eclipse.ui.popupMenus extension point.

I want to use the new style org.eclipse.ui.menus extension point to be able to use commands.

But I have tried every combination of menu ids and queries I can imagine. But nothing helped.

Here is the object contribution declaration I want to add my command to:

<objectContribution
id="org.eclipse.cdt.ui.cresources.contrib"
objectClass="org.eclipse.cdt.core.model.ICElement">
<action
class="org.eclipse.cdt.internal.ui.actions.FreshenIndexAction "
id="org.eclipse.cdt.ui.updateIndexAction"
label="%FreshenIndex.name"
menubarPath="org.eclipse.cdt.ui.indexmenu/update">
</action>
<menu
id="org.eclipse.cdt.ui.indexmenu"
label="%Index.menu"
path="buildGroup">
<separator
name="update">
</separator>
</menu>
</objectContribution>

Is there any description on how to do that?

Help would be really appreciated

First of all, check out the following links:

http://wiki.eclipse.org/Platform_Command_Framework
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Command_Core_Expressions
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Platform_Expression_Framework
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Menu_Contributions

There's an objectContribution in the examples section of Menu_Contributions.

Your locationURI would be popup:org.eclipse.ui.popup.any (see MenuUtil
for supported locationURIs)

Give the example a whirl, and let us know how it goes.
