[news.eclipse.modeling.gmf] Re: ContributionItemService problem

[zzhangh@xxxxxxxxxx (Hao Zhang)]

Hi Cherie,
My current situation is, I can contribute items from generated xxx.diagram 
plugin, as logic and taipan examples did, but I can't contribute any item 
in an outer plugin project, say xxx.diagram.custom which I created by 
myself and depends xxx.diagram project. And I found no example for this 
situation, yet I do need this because my actions has been defined in the 
xxx.diagram.custom project and I don't want to modify much codes in 
xxx.diagram project.

The other fact is if I implement IContributionItemProvider directly rather 
than inherit AbstractContributionItemProvider, the 
contributeToActionBars() method can get called when editor opens, so I 
guess likely there is some logic in AbstractContributionItemProvider not 
suitable for contributionItemProvider defined in outer plugin.. I'm trying 
to locate..
