Hello
I have added a menu contribution in PackageExplorer. It appears correctly (first menuContribution in the following XML). Then I try add to do the same thing into Project Explorer (second menuContribution) but item doesn't appears (with or without visibleWhen tag). I have read all infos on google but I have not found solution.
Below an extract of my plugin xml.
Can have any help?

<extension
         point="org.eclipse.ui.menus">
    <menuContribution
            locationURI="popup:org.eclipse.jdt.ui.PackageExplorer">
        <command
            commandId="myCommandId"
            icon="icons/wizard.gif"
            id="myId"
            label="My choice"
            style="push">
            <visibleWhen>
                <with
                     variable="activeMenuSelection">
                    <iterate>
                        <adapt
                           type="org.eclipse.jdt.core.IPackageFragment">
                        </adapt>
                    </iterate>
                </with>
            </visibleWhen>
        </command>
    </menuContribution>
    <menuContribution 
       locationURI="popup:org.eclipse.ui.navigator.ProjectExplorer#PopupMenu?after=additions">
        <command
            commandId="myCommandId"
            icon="icons/wizard.gif"
            id="myId"
            label="My choice"
            style="push">
            <visibleWhen>
                <with
                    variable="activeMenuSelection">
                    <iterate>
                        <adapt
                           type="org.eclipse.jdt.core.IPackageFragment">
                        </adapt>
                    </iterate>
                </with>
            </visibleWhen>
        </command>
    </menuContribution>
</extension>

can you get the menu item to show up if you don't include the
visibleWhen? If not, please open a bug with your snippet at

use the following
targetID="org.eclipse.ui.navigator.ProjectExplorer#PopupMenu"

<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.popupMenus">
<viewerContribution
id="com.ibm.examples.AddDiagramContribution"
targetID="org.eclipse.ui.navigator.ProjectExplorer#PopupMenu">
<visibility>
<and>
<objectState name="isSingleSelection" value="visibility"/>
<or>
<objectState name="umlStrictType" value="Model"/>
<objectState name="umlStrictType" value="Package"/>
</or>
</and>
</visibility>
<action
label="My Diagram Label"
icon="icons/myDiagramIcon.gif"
class="com.ibm.examples.actions.AddDiagramActionDelegate"
menubarPath="com.ibm.xtools.modeler.ui.actions.AddDiagramMenu/additions"
enablesFor="1"
id="myActionId">
</action>
</viewerContribution>
</extension>

I am having the same problem in Eclipse Indigo 3.7. I removed after=additions too, but still cannot see the menu item in project explorer popup, while I can see it in the editor popup. Is this the right location URL? Is there anywhere to find default location URL's?

Thanks in advance!
