[news.eclipse.modeling.tmf] Outline View: Creating context menu entry

[rafael.treml@xxxxxxxxxxxx (Rafael Treml)]

Hi all,
i have implemented my first DSL using XText (0.72). It's really cool, 
thank you for the good work. I also played around with the generator 
project and created some templates using XPand. Now i'd like to add a 
context menu in the outline view as suggested in the XText user guide. The 
action launched by the menu should translate the model part represented by 
the selected note using a XPand template defined in the generator project.
I managed to add the menu but now i am stuck. I have to problems:
1. How can i retrieve the selected model object from the 
ContentOutlineNode?
> From another thread in this newsgroup i learned i should use 
contentOutlineNode.getEObjectHandle. But being new to XText (and EMF) i 
can't figure out how to go on from there.

2. How can i programmatically start an XPand transformation and provide 
the model and the template to be used?

Btw: In the user guide in the chapter for context menus it is mentioned to 
create a subclass of DefaultContentOutlineNodeAdapterFactory. I think at 
least since 0.72 this class is already created by the XText project 
wizard. Perhaps you might want to update the user guide.

Best regards,
   Rafael
