Re: [platform-ui-dev] How to install plugin to "Open With" context menu?

Randallco,

 Here is a sample that I created
using the PDE template for an XML editor, I added one more extension type
"txt" to make the extensions the editor knows about a little
more interesting.

 <extension
         point="org.eclipse.ui.editors">
      <editor
         
  name="Sample
XML Editor"
         
  extensions="xml,txt"
   <=== Here is were the file extensions that this editor
knows about are declared
         
  icon="icons/sample.gif"
         
  contributorClass="org.eclipse.ui.texteditor.BasicTextEditorActionContributor"
         
  class="Test.editors.XMLEditor"
         
  id="Test.editors.XMLEditor">
      </editor>
   </extension>

Subject	[platform-ui-dev] How to install plugin to "Open With" context menu?

Hi there,

I have a question - I'm working on Hex Editor plugin for Eclipse
(http://ehep.sourceforge.net). People keep asking me to install this plugin
into "Open With" context menu in the Navigator and Package Explorer.
Is it
possible?

I've already managed to install this plugin into the root level of context
menu using this <objectContribution> in my plugin.xml file:

                
<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.popupMenus">
                
                 <objectContribution
                
                 
               
id="net.sourceforge.ehep.editors.HexEditor"
                
                 
               
objectClass="org.eclipse.core.resources.IFile">
                
                 
               
<action
                
                 
               
                 id="net.sourceforge.ehep.editors.HexEditor.open"
                
                 
               
                 label="Hex
Editor"
                
                 
               
                 icon="icons/ehep.gif"
                
                 
               
                 menubarPath="ehep"
                
                 
               
                 style="push"

helpContextId="net.sourceforge.ehep.editors.HexEditor.open_editor_action_con
text"
                
                 
               
                 class="net.sourceforge.ehep.actions.PopupMenuActionDelegate"
                
                 
               
                 enablesFor="1">
                
                 
               
</action>
                
                 </objectContribution>
                
</extension>

It works fine, but I would really like to have it under "Open With"
submenu.
Please advise.

Thank you.
