Description Barthelemy Dagenais CLA 2006-07-28 12:04:49 EDT 
Current situation:
Currently, the only way to add ui contribution to the plug-in model (such as a popup menu action) is within the search view.

Proposed solution:
The PDE Outline page should register its context menu (like the JDT Outline page), so users can contribute ui actions to plug-in model.

The Manifest Editor should also register its various context menus to enable ui contributions too.

This is part of the PDE as a Platform story.

Note the API tooling also discovered this limitation when prototyping a "compute minimal required prerequisite plug-in version" tool. We hacked up support in the context menu of the required plug-ins viewer - see bug 213020. However, there is a side effect which may be undesirable - this causes other actions to appear in the menu (such as CVS/Team actions, run/debug, etc - since an IResource adapter is available for the editor).

think about for M7
Comment 4 Curtis Windatt CLA 2008-04-23 14:56:24 EDT 
This is more like a new feature/functionality rather than a bug.  Since we are past feature freeze and because there may be undesirable side effects, I'm deferring this to 3.5.
Comment 5 Darin Wright CLA 2009-03-13 14:10:26 EDT 
The menus get bigger with this. We are past API freeze (menu ids should be API). As well, it might be better to ensure the our selection provider was providing the correct thing to the selection service - i.e. rather than text it should be providing "plug-in" objects and perhaps object contributions should work rather than just pop-up menu contributions.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.

Please remove the stalebug flag, if this issue is still relevant and can be reproduced on the latest release.
