Hi all,

We would like to contribute new actions in a popup menu in the outline view.

It used to work with Xtext 1.0 where the outline view was specific to xtext. Extension point was:
popup:org.eclipse.xtext.ui.outline?after=additions

It looks like such extension point is no longer working with Xtext 2.3M6.

What is the new extension point for the new outline view?

Daniel

We have been able to create our popup menu for the outline view.

However, we are currently unable to create a specific action according to the type of node available in the view: all of them are of type IOutlineNode. We were using an adapter for that with Xtext 1.0, which cannot be reused directly here (because it worked with the specific Xtext outline view).

Is there a simple way to discriminate the nodes of the outline view according to their EObject type?
