I've created the ability to create a Roster Menu...i.e. a dynamically created menu from the ECF contacts list/roster.
So, for example, here's my current contacts list:
Here's a new roster menu, that shows as a menu the active roster entries (buddies)
Note that this menu can be added to any existing menu using the platform UI Menu Contributions mechanisms.
The way this works is that a plugin can add markup like the following to specify a new roster menu contribution:
<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.menus"> <menuContribution locationURI="popup:org.eclipse.ecf.presence.ui.MultiRosterView?before=additions"> <dynamic class="org.eclipse.ecf.presence.ui.menu.NoopRosterMenuContributionItem" id="org.eclipse.ecf.presence.collab.ui.dynamic5"> </dynamic> </menuContribution> </extension>
Notice the class org.eclipse.ecf.presence.ui.menu.NoopRosterMenuContributionItem. This is a new class that creates a roster menu contribution that does nothing (performs a noop). The command handler associated with this contribution item does nothing, so that when the Ted Kubaska menu item is chosen, nothing happens.
It's possible, and easy, however to create a subclass of
