hello Florin

you could use activities, see

http://help.eclipse.org/help33/topic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/guide/workbench_advext_activities.htm


for example add an activity com.yourcompany.eclipseIdeActions in your plugin

    <activity
           id="com.yourcompany.eclipseIdeActions"
           name="Editors Actions">
     </activity>

and add an Activity pattern binding :

 <activityPatternBinding
           activityId="com.yourcompany.eclipseIdeActions"
           pattern="org\.eclipse\.ui\.editors/org\.eclipse\.ui\..*">
  </activityPatternBinding>

some other patterns I use :

    <activityPatternBinding
           activityId="com.yourcompany.eclipseUpdatePrefs"
           pattern="org\.eclipse\.update\.ui/org\.eclipse\.update\..*PreferencePage">
     </activityPatternBinding>

   <activityPatternBinding
           activityId="com.yourcompany.eclipseIdePrefs"
           pattern="org\.eclipse\.ui\.ide/org\.eclipse\.ui\.preferencePages\.Workbench">
     </activityPatternBinding>

   <activityPatternBinding
           activityId="com.yourcompany.eclipseIdeActions"
           pattern="org\.eclipse\.ui\.editors/org\.eclipse\.ui\..*">
     </activityPatternBinding>

etc...

then define your own Activity and add a defaultEnablement for it

I use activities to filter preference page and actions
