Description Remy Suen CLA 2010-12-10 13:10:32 EST 
The snippet below does not work on 4.1.

<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.menus">
  <menuContribution locationURI="popup:#TextEditorContext?after=additions">
    <dynamic
        class="b.items.CCIImpl"
        id="b.items.cci">
    </dynamic>
  </menuContribution>
</extension>
Comment 1 Remy Suen CLA 2010-12-10 13:21:16 EST 
Looks like it may be because MenuAdditionCacheEntry's addMenuChildren(*) method doesn't consider <dynamic> elements.
Comment 2 Remy Suen CLA 2010-12-10 13:48:41 EST 
Actually, based on bug 332240, it feels like you'll appear if you're nested within a <menu> but won't if you're not?
Comment 3 Remy Suen CLA 2010-12-10 14:52:57 EST 
See also bug 329439 for the targeted view case.
Comment 4 Remy Suen CLA 2011-05-16 14:51:33 EDT 
The snippet seems to be working now.
