I had already asked this question, but probably I didn't make myself
clear, so I'll try to explain this issue.

I created a source formatter for my plugin, attached to the source
viewer and I can execute it from a menu of my own; However, I'd like it
to be run from the Source -> Format context menu that it appears in the
project explorer when you right click on a file (that is not a Java
file), as shown in this picture

I assume this action is defined by some ActionFactory (not the standard
one however, since it does not define FORMAT), and that this action can
be retarget. The default implementation for files that are not standard
is a message box saying that this action is not enabled.

But who's defining this action?

Or how could I find this out?

thanks in advance
Lorenzo

You have to do this. Currently it is Java-specific.
