Help! Adding menu items to CDT Source Editor context menu [message #78001]

I ran into a weird issue where I was able to add menu items to the CDT
editor (or so I thought this is what it was). using the constant

<viewerContribution id="com.xxx..CDTPopupActions"
targetID="#CEditorContext">

where targetID #CEditorContext

BUT... recently the editor window seems to have changed (it now has a ruler
at the top, and the code is color highlighted) and now my pop up menu items
no longer appear... sigh... so I assume that the editor my menu was popping
up in before must have NOT been the CDT editor, though I had CDT installed.
ugggg.

Is #CEditorContext the correct define for right click context menu items, on
a source editor window such as test.cpp?

I have looked everywhere, trying to find where to get a list of
fragment.xml defines for adding menu items to various UI elements of CDT but
can't find any information anywhere.

any help is appreciated greatly

Thanks in Advance

So further investigation it seems to be using the LPEX editor settings from
the preferences.

I still can't seem to find any information on 'Legal' constants to be used
with fragments for viewerContribution menu items (right click context menu
items).

sigh... any help is appreciated.

Ok, heres the deal.

So I found under eclipse menu:

Window-> preferences->Workbench->File Associations
that the editor I was use to seeing for C and CPP files had been replaced
by LPEX entries. After I removed the LPEX entries and got back to the
Default C/CPP editor my menus started showing again.

So...... what is LPEX? wheres it coming from? and how do I get my menus to
show not only on the default C/CPP editor but also on these other C/CPP
editor windows?

Thanks for the assistance here.

LPEX has been the editor component used by IBM before QNX Team took over
the CDT project ownership. LPEX AFAIK is being abandoned for a long time
now, but as I saw in CVS its still under org.eclipse.cdt.old.
