- org.eclipse.ui.navigator.NavigatorActionService

- All Implemented Interfaces:
IMementoAware
public final class NavigatorActionService extends ActionGroup implements IMementoAware
Provides context menu items and
IActionBarscontributions for a particular abstract viewer. The interface matches that ofActionGroupand may be used in the same manner. Clients must callprepareMenuForPlatformContributions(MenuManager, ISelectionProvider, boolean)when using this class to allow object or viewer contributions. The org.eclipse.ui.navigator.viewer/viewer/popupMenu element may override whether platform contributions are allowed to the menu with its allowsPlatformContributions attribute. "Platform Contributions" are menu items that are added through the org.eclipse.ui.popupMenus extension point.A
CommonActionProviderhas opportunities to contribute to the context menu andIActionBarswhenever the selection in the viewer changes. Action Providers are selected based on the enablement expressions of their associated content extension or their own enablement expression if it is declared as a top-level <actionProvider /> element (of the org.eclipse.ui.navigator.navigatorContent extension point). See the schema documentation of org.eclipse.ui.navigator.navigatorContent for more information on how to specify an Action Provider.Clients that reuse this service outside of an instance of
CommonNavigatormust be sure that {fillActionBars(IActionBars)is called whenever the selection changes. The retargetable actions for each selection could change, based on who contributed the items.- Since:
