I have a menu contribution to the Package Explorer from an Eclipse plugin.
It looks like this:
<plugin>
<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.menus">
<menuContribution
locationURI="popup:org.eclipse.jdt.ui.PackageExplorer">
<command
commandId="org.attrx.actions.Open"
style="push">
<visibleWhen
checkEnabled="false">
<iterate>
<adapt
type="org.eclipse.core.resources.IFile">
<test
property="org.eclipse.core.resources.name"
value="*.java">
</test>
</adapt>
</iterate>
</visibleWhen>
</command>
</menuContribution>
</extension>
<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.commands">
<command
defaultHandler="org.attrx.actions.Open"
id="org.attrx.actions.Open"
name="Open File">
</command>
</extension>
</plugin>
I would like to add a separator line in the context menu before and after this command. Could someone help me achieve this?
Use
<separator
name="separator-id"
visible="true">
</separator>
before and after the <command>.
Note: Separators are not shown if they are at the beginning or end of a menu.

I am new to extention creation in eclipse. I am trying to add same context menu to Project Explorer and Package Explorer.
XXX_label is menu and XXX, YYY and ZZZ are commands.
For project Explorer as described in Link, I added entry for project explorer and package Explorer.
Plugin.xml
<plugin>
<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.menus">
<menuContribution

locationURI="popup:org.eclipse.ui.navigator.ProjectExplorer#PopupMenu?after=additions">

How to eliminate extra entry done by package explorer?
Any of Help is Appreciated.
EDIT :
I think it is better to use locationURI="popup:org.eclipse.ui.popup.any?after=additions" as single popup entry which will add menu entry in both package explorer, Project Explorer and Navigator.
Location URI for package explorer is : popup:org.eclipse.jdt.ui.PackageExplorer.
Using the Eclipse template I generated this sample which works fine when I select a file in the project explorer. However I want to also make it available when I do right-click on a Text Editor or even when I have some text selected.
What is the right objectClass to use in the objectContribution?
<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.popupMenus">
<objectContribution
id="com.example.popup-cli.contribution1"
objectClass="org.eclipse.core.resources.IFile">
<menu
id="com.example.popup.menu1"
label="New Submenu"
path="additions">
<separator
name="group1">
</separator>
</menu>
<action
class="com.example.popup.actions.NewAction"
enablesFor="1"
id="com.example.popup.newAction"
label="New Action"
menubarPath="com.example.popup.menu1/group1">
</action>
</objectContribution>
</extension>
Using the org.eclipse.ui.menus extension point you can use the activeEditorInput variable to test the current editor input (the file being edited).
For example:
<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.menus">
<menuContribution
locationURI="popup:#AbstractTextEditorRulerContext?after=QuickDiff.Toggle">
<command
commandId="org.eclipse.team.cvs.ui.showAnnotation"
label="%ShowAnnotationAction.label"
style="push">
<visibleWhen
checkEnabled="false">
<with variable="activeEditorInput">
<test
property="org.eclipse.team.internal.ccvs.ui.isManaged"
value="true">
</test>
</with>
</visibleWhen>
</command>
</menuContribution>
</extension>
The above is from the CVS plugin
I'm not sure if this is the ideal solution but it worked, it makes the popup menu visible when I press right-click on a resource in the Project Explorer and in the Editor if it's associated to a resource in the Project Explorer.
This is not perfect since it's still being displayed in non Text Editor editors/views, but I can ignore the action on those cases. If someone has some suggestion to improve this please comment.

In Egit, ..... when right click the project, then click "Show in History", the history View shows the list of all commits, select one commit, right click , the pop up menu shows (Checkout, Create Branch, Create Tag, .....Revision Comment). What I need to do is to add a new item in this pop up menu called "Add To Factory", then when click it , go to "AddToFactoryHandler" to do the implementation.
From the source code in Egit, this menu id is "org.eclipse.egit.ui.historyPageContributions",
(1)
<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.commands">
<command
id="xxxxxxxxxx.AddToFactory"
defaultHandler="xxxxxxxxxxx.AddToFactoryHandler"
description="description"
name="AddToFactory">
</command>
</extension>
<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.handlers">
<handler
commandId="xxxxxxxxxx.AddToFactory">
<class
class="xxxxxxxxxxx.AddToFactoryHandler">
</class>
<activeWhen>
<and>
<count
value="1">
</count>
<iterate>
<adapt
type="org.eclipse.jgit.lib.ReflogEntry">
</adapt>
</iterate>
</and>
</activeWhen>
</handler>
</extension>
<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.menus">
<menuContribution
locationURI="popup:org.eclipse.egit.ui.historyPageContributions">
<command
commandId="xxxxxxxxxx.AddToFactory"
label="AddToFactory"
style="push">
</command>
</extension>
(2) <extension point="org.eclipse.ui.menus">
<menuContribution locationURI="popup:org.eclipse.egit.ui.historyPageContributions">
<command commandId="xxxxxxxxxx.AddToFactory" style="push">
<visibleWhen checkEnabled="true"/>
</command>
</menuContribution>
</extension>
<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.handlers">
<handler
class="xxxxxxxxxxx.AddToFactoryHandler"
commandId="xxxxxxxxxx.AddToFactory">
<enabledWhen>
<and>
<with variable="activePartId">
<equals value="org.eclipse.egit.ui.historyPageContributions"/>
</with>
<with variable="activeMenuSelection">
<iterate ifEmpty="false">
<adapt type="org.eclipse.jgit.lib.ReflogEntry"/>
</iterate>
</with>
</and>
</enabledWhen>
</handler>
</extension>
Either way, when I select the commit in the history view and right clcik , "AddToFActory" never show up in the pop up menu. Any idea how to add item to such pop up menu? Thanks a lot for the help?
I'm trying to add a Menu Item to the Run Menu in Eclipse via a plugin.
However, I only want this Item to appear when I'm in the "Report Design" perspective (this is for BIRT).
Secondly, (if possible) I'd like the menu item to be only enabled if the extension of the open file is .rptdesign.
I'm not having any luck using either of the visibility or visibleWhen elements in the plugin.xml
Any hints appreciated,
Ro
Eventually got it, here's what I had to do.....
Create the Command
<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.commands">
<command
name="Deploy"
icon="icons/deploy.gif"
style="push"
id="com.test.deployCommand">
</command>
Create the Handler for the command
<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.handlers">
<handler
commandId="com.test.deployCommand"
class="com.test.DeployHandler">
</handler>
Add an existing property tester available in BIRT (to test the file type) - Would not work if i changed the namespace parameter
<extension
point="org.eclipse.core.expressions.propertyTesters">
<propertyTester
class="org.eclipse.birt.report.debug.internal.ui.script.ScriptDebuggerPropertyTester"
id="com.test.propertyTester1"
namespace="scriptdebug"
properties="isRptdesign"
type="org.eclipse.core.runtime.IAdaptable">
</propertyTester>
Added two definitions
<extension point="org.eclipse.core.expressions.definitions">
<definition id="com.test.inRptDesignPerspective">
<with variable="activeWorkbenchWindow.activePerspective">
<equals value="org.eclipse.birt.report.designer.ui.ReportPerspective"/>
</with>
</definition>
<definition id="com.test.inRptDesignFile">
<with variable="selection">
<count value="1" />
<iterate>
<and>
<test property="scriptdebug.isRptdesign" />
</and>
</iterate>
</with>
</definition>
</extension>
On my menu extension, added a setting to the command, marking when its visible
<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.menus">
<menuContribution locationURI="menu:org.eclipse.ui.main.menu" id="com.test.contribution2">
<menu
id="org.eclipse.ui.run"
label="Run"
path="additions">
<groupMarker
name="preview">
</groupMarker>
<command
commandId="com.test.deployCommand"
icon="icons/deploy.gif"
id="com.test.deployCommand"
menubarPath="org.eclipse.ui.run/preview"
style="push"
class="com.test.DeployHandler">
<visibleWhen>
<and>
<reference definitionId="com.test.inRptDesignPerspective"/>
<reference definitionId="com.test.inRptDesignFile"/>
</and>
</visibleWhen>
</command>
</menu>
</menuContribution>
I tried to add a menu item to package explorer's right click menu. But my menu item is not visible when i run my plugin. what am i missing?
here is my plugin.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?eclipse version="3.4"?>
<plugin>
<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.menus">
<menuContribution
locationURI="popup:org.eclipse.jdt.ui.PackageExplorer">
<command
commandId="kodsayici.counter"
label="Count"
style="push">
<visibleWhen
checkEnabled="false">
<with
variable="menuSelection">
<iterate
ifEmpty="false"
operator="or">
<adapt
type="org.eclipse.jdt.core.ICompilationUnit">
</adapt>
</iterate>
</with>
</visibleWhen>
</command>
</menuContribution>
</extension>
<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.commands">
<command
defaultHandler="kodsayici.Counter"
id="kodsayici.counter"
name="Count">
</command>
</extension>
</plugin>
I solved my problem. menuSelection is a wrong variable name. These variable names are predefined (Command_Core_Expressions). If change menuSelection to activeMenuSelection, my plugin works.
