Extending XML Editor popup menu. [message #142661]

I am trying to extend the popup menus on the default XML editor. I want
to add a entry to the popup menu that allows me to transfer the selected
text from the editor to an alternate view.

If anyone has an example of how to add a popup menu entry to the default
XML it would be appreciated.

http://help.eclipse.org/help31/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse. platform.doc.isv/guide/workbench_basicext_popupMenus.htm
contains information on how to register the action. The menu ID
used when editing XML is
"org.eclipse.core.runtime.xml.source.EditorContext" and your
delegate's selectionChanged(IAction action,
ISelection selection) method that should be given the
ITextSelection when your action delegate is invoked.

The
org.eclipse.wst.common.snippets.internal.actions.AddToSnippe tsEditorActionDelegate
class does something very similiar.

I tried the following...
<viewerContribution
id="org.eclipse.xxxx.debug.vxmledit"
targetID="org.eclipse.core.runtime.xml.source.EditorContext ">
<action id="com.xxxx.ide.eclipse.voice.caller1"
label="%PopupMenus.action"
icon="resources/images/com/xxxx/ide/TranslatorFile.jpg"
menubarPath="additions"
class="com.xxxx.ide.eclipse.debug.action.TTSActionDelegate" >
</action>
</viewerContribution>

Your right this delegate is perfect for what I want to do. Thanks..
Problem is I still can not figure out how to properly change the menu.

I tried variations on this theme but it seems to not work. Since it is
an editor I assume I am dealing with a viewerContribution. If you have
any suggestions I would appreciate it.

Thanks
