I have a view. This view has a popup menu registered in the default
fashion, e.g. the popup menu ID is the same as the view ID.
This popup menu has a submenu, contributed as a "menu" under an
"objectContribution" on a legacy "popupMenus" extension point. The
"menu" has a unique ID.
There are a couple items on that submenu which are also contributed via
the popupMenus extension point.
Here's the problem. I have a command that I want to contribute to that
same submenu. I'm trying to use the new "menuContribution" element on
the "org.eclipse.ui.menus" extension point. Specifying the locationURI
to the submenu is where I get stuck. I thought it would be:
locationURI="popup:submenuID"
But it doesn't show on the submenu. If I use the view ID, it shows on
the submenu's parent (the main popup menu for the view), as such:
locationURI="popup:viewID"
This proves that the appropriate handler is active and the command is
enabled.
Help with getting it show up on the submenu?
Thanks
Ben
