RE: [platform-ui-dev] How to install plugin to "Open With" context menu?
|
Hi Kevin,
Thanks for your
response. I know how to register plugin for certain file extensions (EHEP plugin
is already associated with exe, dll, com, bin, hex and class extensions), but I
would like to avoid that, because the EHEP plugin could be used for *any*
extension, not only those that is already associated with. That's why I'm
trying to find out how to add this plugin directly to "Open With" submenu. Then
it would be ready for any extension without registration in Preferences ->
Workbench -> File Associations.

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>

| [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.
