Re: [jdt-debug-dev] jdt launch shortcuts on non java files

[Michael Rennie <Michael_Rennie@xxxxxxxxxx>]

        I
don't think my files should be able to be adapted to IJavaElement
        since they are not java files. Maybe
the problem is I have done
        something to make them adaptable to
IJavaElement. Where would I look to
        find out?

Your file(s) can be adapted to an IJavaElement
if you are using the java model (projects, packages, etc).

        I do want my shortcut
to show up in the Run As menu and I have already
        done so using org.eclipse.debug.ui.matchesPattern
test. The problem is I
        don't want the jdt shortcuts showing
up in the context menu for my files
        since they are not java files.

They (the jdt shortcuts) should not
be showing up, as your file is not a java file (*.java or *.class).
If however you right click on a package,
fragment or project you will see all of them, this is because we take an
optimistic approach
for including menuitems. To do otherwise
would require too much processing and make the RunAs menu slow to appear.
