Dynamic popup menu and objectContribution [message #323602]

Hi,

I try to create dynamic popup menu on select treeitem in standard Package
explorer or Navigator view. Extension org.eclipse.ui.popupMenus does not
offer possibility to create menu dynamically, but it gives information
about selected items. Extension org.eclipse.ui.menus gives the possibility
to create such menu, but there's no information about selected objects (if
any).

I created one static menu item via org.eclipse.ui.menus and use its
information about selected item while creating dynamic items for
org.eclipse.ui.popupMenus. But it's nasty solution.

Is there a nicer way how to create dynamic popup menu for tree?

Thanks for every advice.

Juraj

Executing a command from a popup menu will provide the popup menu
selection. When using org.eclipse.ui.menus to fill a popup menu, you
can use "visibleWhen/with variable=activeMenuSelection" to determine
which which of your menu contributions should be included.

Or is your question about using a dynamic element, but the selection is
not provided to your compound contribution item?
