context menu in Oxygen Author?

[nileshp]

I'm playing around with a few plugins and as per the documentation the way to invoke a plugin is through the contextual menu. That is the authors are supposed to right-click on the text > plugins. But I don't see this option in Oxygen Author. I've checked this on both 16 and 17.

Am I missing something?

Thanks,
Nilesh

Hi Nilesh,

Some particular types of plugin only works in the Text editing mode (right click, Plugins submenu).
If you want a plugin which is able to add a contextual menu to the Author editing mode, you should try a Workspace Access plugin type:
https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/ ... lugin.html

Our Plugins SDK should have some Java samples with a Workspace Access plugin implementation.
Something like:

Code: Select all

        @Override

        public void applicationStarted(final StandalonePluginWorkspace pluginWorkspaceAccess) {

          pluginWorkspaceAccess.addEditorChangeListener(new WSEditorChangeListener(){

            @Override

            public void editorOpened(URL editorLocation) {

              WSEditor editorAccess = pluginWorkspaceAccess.getEditorAccess(editorLocation, PluginWorkspace.MAIN_EDITING_AREA)

              WSEditorPage edPage = editorAccess.getCurrentPage();

              if(edPage instanceof WSAuthorEditorPage){

                ((WSAuthorEditorPage)edPage).addPopUpMenuCustomizer(new AuthorPopupMenuCustomizer() {

                  

                  @Override

                  public void customizePopUpMenu(Object popUp, AuthorAccess authorAccess) {

                    JPopupMenu menu = (JPopupMenu)popUp;

                    //And modify the menu here...

                  }

                });

              }

            }

          }, PluginWorkspace.MAIN_EDITING_AREA);

        }
