Hello there!

Is there a way to extend/customize my System and Subsystem types in the Remote Systems View? Basically I want to add custom actions to their context menus, just like I did with my model objects:
MyModelClassAdapter extends AbstractSystemViewAdapter implements ISystemRemoteElementAdapter...

Thanks in advance!
Ralph

Hi Ralph,

If all you want to do is add custom actions to the context menus, you don't
need to programmatically alter the RSE view adapters. You could just use
the standard Eclipse popupMenus extension point. The following is an
example from the org.eclipse.rse.examples.tutorial plugin:

<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.popupMenus">
<objectContribution
objectClass="org.eclipse.rse.subsystems.files.core.subsystems.IRemoteFile"
nameFilter="*.jar"
id="actions.jar">
<action
label="Show contents"
tooltip="list contents of this file"
class="samples.ui.actions.ShowJarContents"
menubarPath="additions"
enablesFor="1"
id="actions.jar.show">
</action>
</objectContribution>
</extension>

The objectClass attribute indicates which RSE object to contribute the menu
item to. For example, if you wanted to contribute something to a host
object, you'd use:
objectClass="org.eclipse.rse.core.model.IHost"

I hope this helps,
Dave
