Simply create the menu on your widget(s) and register it with the site. 
Here's some sample code taken from the Java outline page:

       MenuManager manager= new MenuManager(fContextMenuID, 
fContextMenuID);
       manager.setRemoveAllWhenShown(true);
       manager.addMenuListener(new IMenuListener() {
           public void menuAboutToShow(IMenuManager m) {
               contextMenuAboutToShow(m);
           }
       });
       fMenu= manager.createContextMenu(tree);
       tree.setMenu(fMenu);

       IPageSite site= getSite();
       site.registerContextMenu(JavaPlugin.getPluginId() + ".outline", 
manager, fOutlineViewer); //$NON-NLS-1$
