How add "Show In" navigation to a view? [message #334848]

Hi,

I'm having problems figuring out how to add a "Show In" context menu for
a view.
My view lists various resources and I would like to add the "Show In"
menu enabling navigation based on the selected resources to the
Navigator and Project Explorer views.

Anyone who can help point me to examples on how to implement this?

TIA!
--Fredrik

This is how a view.views.SampleView would add the show view menu to itself.
Adapt to your view suitably.


The menu :

<extension
         point="org.eclipse.ui.menus"> 
         <menuContribution
               locationURI="popup:view.views.SampleView">
         <menu
               commandId="org.eclipse.ui.navigate.showInQuickMenu"
               id="view.views.SampleView.showInMenu"
               label="Show In">
             <!--Use the one in platform,ShowInMenu, see 
org.eclipse.ui.ExtensionFactory-->
            <dynamic
                  
class="org.eclipse.ui.ExtensionFactory:showInContribution"
                  id="org.eclipse.ui.menus.dynamicShowInMenu">
            </dynamic>
         </menu>
    </menuContribution>
</extension>
   



The ShowIn Adapter :
   
<extension
         point="org.eclipse.core.runtime.adapters">
         <!--IAdapterFactory that returns instance of IShowInSource-->
         <!--not needed if the view can adpat to 
org.eclipse.ui.part.IShowInSource-->
 <factory
             adaptableType="view.views.SampleView"
             class="view.views.ShowInAdapter">
          <adapter
                type="org.eclipse.ui.part.IShowInSource">
          </adapter>
   </factory>
</extension>


public class ShowInAdapter implements IAdapterFactory {
	
	private static Class[] classes = new Class[] { IShowInSource.class };

	public Object getAdapter(Object adaptableObject, Class adapterType) {
		if (!(adaptableObject instanceof SampleView))
			return null;

		final SampleView view = (SampleView) adaptableObject;

		return new IShowInSource() {
			public ShowInContext getShowInContext() {
				return new ShowInContext(null, new StructuredSelection(
						view.getSelectedResources()));
			}

		};

	}
	public Class[] getAdapterList() {
		return classes;
	}
}

Thanks!
Did the trick.
Also added some code to hook into the context menu of my view:

IShowInSource showInSource = (IShowInSource)
getAdapter(IShowInSource.class);
if (showInSource != null) {
ShowInContext context = showInSource.getShowInContext();
if (context != null) {
ISelection sel = context.getSelection();
if (sel != null && !sel.isEmpty()) {
MenuManager showInSubMenu = new MenuManager("Show In");

showInSubMenu.add(ContributionItemFactory.VIEWS_SHOW_IN.crea te(getViewSite().getWorkbenchWindow()));
manager.add(showInSubMenu);
}
}
}

Thanks,
--Fredrik
