Adding a context menu entry in the model editor [message #643321]

Hi,

I'd like to add a new context menu entry in the model editor (e.g. when right clicking a class in the editor). Is there any way to do this? I've found an extension point (actionHandler) but I've got no idea on how to use it.

There is two ways to do this.
The simplest is to use provided extension point.

You can always read extension point description from plugin editor. ( If developers specify it)

Just select extension point and click something like "show extension point description" located on the right.

You can also search in documentation for ActionHandler.

Good day

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I've read the documentation and I'm still not sure if this is the extension point that provides me with the possibility of adding a context menu in the editor. I hope someone can clarify this for me.

This extension point is depreciated.
I think that you sould use org.eclipse.actions to contribute menu item.
How to do this. Look into great tutorials on lars vogella site:
http://www.vogella.de

To obtain location uri you should use shift+alt+f2 shortcut in eclipse.

Yes, it seems that this is the way to go. Vogella has a good tutorial on this but I can't seem to find the URI for the context menu. Pressing Alt+Shift+F3 in the editor gives me the URI org.eclipse.papyrus.editor but I guess that's not enough to identify the context menu.

.I try to fetch this location for you and is not possible to use it.
Papyrus context menu uri has null location. Maybe this is a bug. I think that context menu is based on soruce code rather than xml configuration.
You should look to source code, and seek how this context menu is implemented. I'm not sure because I'm new in papyrus like you. Maybe others can help Grin

Let me know if you found a solution.
