Please can anyone explain how to add context menu entry in eclipse oxygen?

[asaadat]

I have seen a lot of documentation related to this but still i am not successful in adding a context menu entry in eclipse. Do i have to make a new plugin for this, and after adding org.eclipse.ui.menu extension point, how to handle the locationuris and commands, i am new into this, so please it will be really kind of you to briefly describe the solution considering me a newbie.

Hi,

So when an XML document is opened using the Oxygen XML Editor Eclipse plugin and you right click inside the XML content you want to add a custom action, right?
In the Oxygen XML Editor eclipse plugin folder there is a "plugin.xml" which describes an extension point like:

Code: Select all

  <!--The usage in the other plugin.xml is something like:

     <extension point="com.oxygenxml.editor.actionBarContributorCustomizer">

      <implementation class="my.package.CustomActionBarContributorCustomizer"/>;

     </extension>

   

      where CustomActionBarContributorCustomizer extends "com.oxygenxml.editor.editors.ActionBarContributorCustomizer" 

  -->

  <extension-point id="actionBarContributorCustomizer" name="Action Bar Contributor Customizer"

    schema="exsd-schema/actionBarContributorCustomizer.exsd"/>

so your custom Eclipse plugin can require on our Eclipse plugin and then implement this particular extension point. An implementation of the "com.oxygenxml.editor.editors.ActionBarContributorCustomizer" Java class will receive various callbacks (for adding actions to various contextual menus, toolbars and main menus).
