[news.eclipse.platform] Re: Add menu listener for editor context menu.

["vishal" <vishal_pai@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Paul,

Many thanks for your reply.

I am trying to trap atleast the known events that occurred on the file. For 
e.g. The file was being compared, file was printed etc. Sometimes I also 
need to remove some of the existing features. I am working on general class 
of editors (but for now text editors is also fine).

How do I know if the editor has exported the menu manager? How do I subclass 
a editor (I do not want to go into Windows hooks and subclassing)? Kindly 
advise on the approach that I should take.

Thanks and Best Regards,
Vishal
