Chapter6.3 ObjectActions

[Irene Levina]

Trying to add context popup menu using 6.3 section guidelines.
However when I try to manually testing it (using Runtime Workbench) I could not see it in any context menu activated on workbench resource.

I created new class com.qualityeclipse.favorites.actions.AddToFavoritesActionDelegate as sugested in a book.

My plugin manifest file contains the following extention definition for popupMenu:

<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.popupMenus">
<objectContribution
adaptable="false"
objectClass="org.eclipse.core.resources.IResource"
id="com.qualityeclipse.favorites.popupMenu">
<menu
label="Favorites"
path="additions"
id="com.qualityeclipse.favorites.popupSubMenu">
<groupMarker name="content"></groupMarker>
<separator name="additions"></separator>
</menu>
<action
label="Add"
icon="icons/sample.gif"
class="com.qualityeclipse.favorites.actions.AddToFavoritesActionDelegate"
tooltip="Add the currently selected resource(s) to the Favorites view"
menubarPath="com.qualityeclipse.favorites.popupSubMenu/content"
enablesFor="+"
id="com.qualityeclipse.favorites.addToFavorites">
</action>
</objectContribution>
</extension>


So what I am doing wrong that I can't see it?

Thanks in advance for any help.

I would say that guidelines in 6.3 section doesn't explain clearly how manually to test Object Action context menu, when user running manual test with Runtime Workbench: Navigator View is empty in other words: there is none of IResource object type available for a selection. Creating simple java project and selecting it Navigator View and opening pull down menu will list Favorites menu defined in 6.3 section.
