Hi,

I try to add an new entry for the context menu that is displayed in the content outline.

I tried it like this:

<menuContribution
            allPopups="false"
            locationURI="popup:org.eclipse.ui.views.ContentOutline?after=additions">
         <command
              //......
         </command>
      </menuContribution>

I am sure that my command is working adding an entry to other context menus worked (e.g. package explorer). But I am not sure why it does not work for the content outline. I assume that the content outline and the context menu depends on the currently opened file in the editor (would make sense).
I tried to extend the menu with this locationUri:
Quote:

org.eclipse.jdt.internal.ui.javaeditor.JavaOutlinePage

but that did not work either.

How can I add a menu entry to the context menu if a java file is edited. There must be an extension point or an id for it (if I use the popup.any locationUri my entry does appear, but then its everywhere...). How do I find correct locationUri for the various contents of the ContentOutline for extension?

Thx for help, this problem is bothering me for some time. I would appreciate any hint.

Maybe you can't remember anymore, but did you ever solve this problem?

There seems to be plenty of archived discussions on various websites where people are trying to solve this problem, but none of them actually have a solution.

Found a solution, answering for future generations

If you are only interested in the outline for Java code, the locationURI for the JavaOutlinePage (which implements the IContentOutlinePage) is

popup:org.eclipse.jdt.ui.outline

The JavaDoc at the top of the JavaOutlinePage's file includes the line:

"Publishes its context menu under JavaPlugin.getDefault().getPluginId() + ".outline"."

Quickly printing out JavaPlugin.getDefault().getPluginId() gave "org.eclipse.jdt.ui".
