Method Detail

getId

public String getId()

Returns the part registry extension id for this workbench site's part.

The name comes from the id attribute in the configuration element.

Returns:

the registry extension id

getPluginId

public String getPluginId()

Returns the unique identifier of the plug-in that defines this workbench site's part.

Returns:

the unique identifier of the declaring plug-in

getRegisteredName

public String getRegisteredName()

Returns the registered name for this workbench site's part.

The name comes from the name attribute in the configuration element.

Returns:

the part name

registerContextMenu

public void registerContextMenu(String menuId,
                                MenuManager menuManager,
                                ISelectionProvider selectionProvider)

Registers a pop-up menu with a particular id for extension. This method should only be called if the target part has more than one context menu to register.

For a detailed description of context menu registration see registerContextMenu(MenuManager, ISelectionProvider);

Parameters:

menuId - the menu id

menuManager - the menu manager

selectionProvider - the selection provider

registerContextMenu

public void registerContextMenu(MenuManager menuManager,
                                ISelectionProvider selectionProvider)

Registers a pop-up menu with the default id for extension. The default id is defined as the part id.

Within the workbench one plug-in may extend the pop-up menus for a view or editor within another plug-in. In order to be eligible for extension, the target part must publish each menu by calling registerContextMenu. Once this has been done the workbench will automatically insert any action extensions which exist.

A menu id must be provided for each registered menu. For consistency across parts the following strategy should be adopted by all part implementors.

1. If the target part has only one context menu it should be registered with id == part id. This can be done easily by calling registerContextMenu(MenuManager, ISelectionProvider).
2. If the target part has more than one context menu a unique id should be defined for each. Prefix each menu id with the part id and publish these ids within the javadoc for the target part. Register each menu at runtime by calling registerContextMenu(String, MenuManager, ISelectionProvider).

Any pop-up menu which is registered with the workbench should also define a GroupMarker in the registered menu with id IWorkbenchActionConstants.MB_ADDITIONS. Other plug-ins will use this group as a reference point for insertion. The marker should be defined at an appropriate location within the menu for insertion.

Parameters:

menuManager - the menu manager

selectionProvider - the selection provider

getKeyBindingService

public IKeyBindingService getKeyBindingService()

Returns the key binding service in use.

The part will access this service to register all of its actions, to set the active scope.

Returns:

the key binding service in use
