I have an existing RCP project that uses menus, commands, and handlers to manage the menu bar menus. I'm adding a new tree navigation structure and I'd like to use CNF. I'm making progress, but I'm struggling with understanding how popup menus work in CNF.

I was able to add a pop up menu to my CNF viewer with a two menu items, Open Project and Close Project. Open Project always shows and it hooked right into my existing command nicely. The Close Project item should only show when a project node is selected in the CNF viewer and that project object should be passed to the command (and handler) as an argument somehow.

So, how do I do those two pieces for the Close Project menu item?:

1. Only show up when a Project node (or nodes) is selected in the CNF.
2. Pass the project object(s) to the Handler class somehow.

Here is an abridged plugin.xml file:
