CDT .cpp source file editor Popup menu help needed [message #77056]

Hello I want to add a right click context menu items to the CDT C++ source
file editor.

I created an extension point like (I simplified it to protect company
information)

<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.popupMenus">

<viewerContribution id="com.xxx.Addin.CDTPopupActions"
targetID="#CompilationUnitEditorContext">
<action id="MyActionOnCppFile" label="Label DoSomething"
menubarPath="group.show" icon="path\morepath\mygif.gif" tooltip="a tooltip"
class="com.xxx.addin.interaction.MenuOnCDTEditor"/>
</viewerContribution>
</extension>

But its not showing up, when I open a cpp file and then right click on the
file.

I'm confused by a lot of the syntax

- is ViewerContribution id simply a unique ID I give to my menu item?
- Where do I find out details about what "#CompilationUnitEditorContext"
means and other defines, is this correct for CDT?
- Anything else I need to do, beyond adding this to my fragment, and
flushing out supporting the Java Interface?
- See anything glaringly wrong here?

Thanks for assistance here.

I think that for CDT , you want targetID="CEditorContext".

That's the only thing I see wrong with your fragment, (as long as your class
MenuOnCDTEditor implements IEditorActionDelegate).
