Hello, 
 
I would like to know how to add a popup menu item inside the New
category of my common navigator view (the standard Project Explorer
view of the IDE). 
In short, what do I append to "group.new" in my menubarPath such
that the menu appears inside NEW -> ? 
 
My current implementation is the following: 
 
Declaring a ui.popupMenus extension with my custom action

Inside my custom action definition I set the menu bar path to
"group.new" 
 
<img src="http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php?t=getfile&id=4385" alt=""> 
 
... which gives the following result: the action is added next to
the new selection

How do I set MenubarPath such that my action appears INSIDE New,
under Project... or File?

Many thanks,

Hello, three days ago I needed to add item to new submenu too.
I never managed to do that by popup menu and object contributions. I simply
get error Path is invalid "group.new" or smt. like that. Group.edit,
is working but group.new not. I googled that the items to the new menu
is possible to add by defining commonNavigatorConentExtension/WizardShortcut.
This is working for me.
