Menu Contributions/Populating a dynamic submenu
In Menu Contributions/Problems View Example we added 2 dynamic menus. You then have to implement CompoundContributionItem in your provided class.
<menu id="org.eclipse.ui.views.problems.groupBy.menu"
label="%ProblemView.GroupBy.label"
mnemonic="%ProblemView.GroupBy.mnemonic">
<dynamic class="org.eclipse.ui.views.markers.internal.GroupByItems"
id="org.eclipse.ui.views.problems.groupBy.items"/>
</menu>
When your menu is populated, you'll have your getContributionItems() method called:
protected IContributionItem[] getContributionItems() {
IContributionItem[] list = new IContributionItem[2];
Map parms = new HashMap();
parms.put("groupBy", "Severity");
list[0] = new CommandContributionItem(null,
"org.eclipse.ui.views.problems.grouping",
parms, null, null, null, "Severity", null,
null, CommandContributionItem.STYLE_PUSH);
parms = new HashMap();
parms.put("groupBy", "None");
list[1] = new CommandContributionItem(null,
"org.eclipse.ui.views.problems.grouping",
parms, null, null, null, "None", null, null,
CommandContributionItem.STYLE_PUSH);
return list;
}
