Eclipse插件，无论角度如何

Question

I'm currently working on a plug-in for eclipse. Right now it only works for the Java perspective but I want to know if there is the possibility to make it work regardless of what perspective I'm using.

For instance I'm trying to make it work for PyDev.

I want my plug-in to execute an action when I right click on a file from the package explorer.

If it is not possible I would appreciate any advice on how to change my plug-in so as to work on PyDev.

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

The package explorer is not restricted to a particular perspective so that is not the problem. More likely PyDev is using a different view which just looks similar.

If you are using the org.eclipse.ui.menus extension point to contribute to the context menu you can specify that the contribution is for any context menu and use the <visibleWhen> to control when it shown. For example:

<extension
     point="org.eclipse.ui.menus">
  <menuContribution
        locationURI="popup:org.eclipse.ui.popup.any">
     <command
           commandId="org.eclipse.ui.examples.contributions.view.edit"
           mnemonic="%contributions.view.edit.mnemonic">
         <visibleWhen
                 checkEnabled="false">
             <iterate ifEmpty="false">
                 <adapt
                       type="org.eclipse.core.resources.IFile">
                 </adapt>
            </iterate>
         </visibleWhen>
      </command>
  </menuContribution>

The location popup:org.eclipse.ui.popup.any is a special id to specify any popup menu.
