[news.eclipse.tools] Re: How to add Popup menu to a new view.

["Simon Arsenault" <simon_arsenault@xxxxxxx>]

Trevor,

Look at the method ResourceNavigator#fillContextMenu for an example of what you want to do. Look also at the reference to this
method to understand how the menu is created and popuplated.

You should remember to register this context menu and give it an ID (typically, the id is the same as the view id). Also, include
the IWorkbenchActionConstants.MB_ADDITIONS group. All of this will allow other plugin developers to extend your context menu. Look
at the method ResourceNavigator#createPartControl to see how the context menu is being registered.
