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>

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"

<and>
<with variable="activePartId">

<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've followed all the possible solutions that I found on several forum (also this: Eclipse plugin menu item is not visible). But, all of them didn't resolve my problem. I've also followed this tutorial http://www.vogella.com/tutorials/EclipsePlugIn/article.html. Anyway the label didn't show in the menu. This is my plugin.xml:
<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.commands">
<command
defaultHandler="pr.handlers.SampleHandler3"
id="pr.commands.rightclick"
name="Analyze">
</command>
.....
<menuContribution
locationURI="popup:org.eclipse.jdt.ui.PackageExplorer">
<command
commandId="pr.commands.rightclick"
label="Analyze"
style="push">
<visibleWhen>
<with variable="activeMenuSelection">
<iterate
ifEmpty="false">
<adapt type="org.eclipse.core.resources.IFile">
<test property="org.eclipse.core.resources.name" value="*java" />
</adapt>
</iterate>
</with>
</visibleWhen>
</command>
</menuContribution>
It seems that for Java files in the packages section of the Package Explorer there is no adapter defined for org.eclipse.core.resources.IFile, there is however an adapter for org.eclipse.core.resources.IResource so changing your adapt to that should work.
Since matching IResource will also match folders your test would be better checking the content type id:
<adapt type="org.eclipse.core.resources.IResource">
<test property="org.eclipse.core.resources.contentTypeId" value="org.eclipse.jdt.core.javaSource" />
</adapt>
I have created a toolbar item using eclipse menu contributions and commands.
Using eclipse command core expressions I have bounded the commands to two views (activePartID is viewA or viewB). There is a provision to open viewB from viewA.
Since I have bounded the command to both the views, when I try to open viewB from viewA, the toolbar item appears twice. How to refrain it from appearing more than once in the toolbar.
Anyhelp is appreciated.

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.
