Extending PDE and JDT popupmenus [message #154698]

I have created a plugin that extends the popupmenu to allow an external
editor to be kicked off from the Navigator window. (Yes, I know you can
right click and use "Open With", but that only works when you don't have
the window open and it also defaults the operation. I don't want that.)

Anyway, the plugin works great with the resource perspective on all files
as specified in the namefilter of the objectContribution extension. The
problem comes when I change to the PDE or JDT perspectives. My plugin
works great for files such as "plugin.xml", "build.properties" and any
file at the highest level. BUT, when I go into the src directories and
find a .java file, the extension to the popupmenu isn't there anymore.

What am I missing?

Thanks!!

Here's my plugin.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<plugin
id="org.mcap.extedit"
name="Extedit Plug-in"
version="1.0.0"
provider-name=""
class="org.mcap.extedit.ExtEditPlugin">

<runtime>
<library name="extedit.jar"/>
</runtime>
<requires>
<import plugin="org.eclipse.core.resources"/>
<import plugin="org.eclipse.ui"/>
</requires>

<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.popupMenus">
<objectContribution
objectClass="org.eclipse.core.resources.IFile"
nameFilter="*"
id="org.mcap.extedit.contribution1">
<menu
label="External Edit"
path="additions"
id="org.mcap.extedit.menu1">
<separator
name="group1">
</separator>
</menu>
<action
label="Xemacs"
class="org.mcap.extedit.popup.actions.ExtEditXemacs"
menubarPath="org.mcap.extedit.menu1/group1"
enablesFor="1"
id="org.mcap.extedit.exteditaction">
</action>
<action
label="Gvim"
class="org.mcap.extedit.popup.actions.ExtEditGvim"
menubarPath="org.mcap.extedit.menu1/group1"
enablesFor="1"
id="org.mcap.extedit.exteditaction">
</action>
</objectContribution>
</extension>

</plugin>

The problem is that objects that are presented in those PDE and Java
navigators are not IResource. Navigators, although they have a consistent
look, do not have a common implementation (there is a work item on 3.0 for
generic navigator).
For example in java navigator, java file are ICompilationUnit and that's the
type you need to put for your object contribution.
