Hi,
I am writing a plug-in for Eclipse that integrates with the Bazaar
version control system. I have written my command handlers and used the
menu extension point to insert a "Bazaar" menu into the main eclipse
window. The problem is that my actions are always enabled and I need to
change that based on which files are selected or whether the editor has
focus or not. For selected files I need to check if they are in a parent
(or ancestor) directory that contains a ".bzr" directory and if the
editor has focus I need to check if the file being edited is in such a
directory structure.
The examples show how to use expressions in the XML file for the command
handlers but my condition is too complex to express in XML syntax. I
would like to do this programmatically or to at least write a new
expression class which I can then use in the XML (e.g.
IsUnderBazaarVersionControlExpression).
I have searched for 3 days solid and found nothing appropriate.
How do I do this? Any feedback greatly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance,
Nicholas Allen

Does no-one know how to do this? I would really appreciate any help - I
am new to Eclipse and am getting frustrated that something so easy
should turn out to require so much work and investigation.
Thanks,
Nick

out to be fairly easy...
