[news.eclipse.platform] Re: "Open" menu action in Project Explorer

["Rahul Kamdar" <rtkamdar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

"Open" is a retargetable action already defined under 
org.eclipse.ui.navigator.ICommonActionConstants.OPEN

A very direct guide on how to override the "open" action in context menu of 
project explorer is given here: 
http://scribbledideas.blogspot.com/2006/06/building-common-navigator-_115067357450703178.html

You can specify in the <enablement> tags for the "Open" action provider the 
IFile clause or your projectNature check so that your Open is called only 
when the file with your projectNature is selected.

Hope this helps,
Rahul
