Description Cedric Dumoulin

2011-02-07 10:11:28 EST

Whenever a Papyrus plugin need to contribute to menu, context menu, toolbar, coolbar, ... it should use the Eclipse UI commands frameworks.

More info on the framework can be found here:
 - http://wiki.eclipse.org/Command_Core_Expressions
 - http://wiki.eclipse.org/Platform_Command_Framework
 - http://www.vogella.de/articles/EclipseCommands/article.html

The extensions points to use for declaring UI commands:

org.eclipse.ui.commands
org.eclipse.ui.handlers
org.eclipse.ui.menus

Eclipse Documentation:
- Platform Plug-in Developer Guide > Programmer's Guide > Plugging into the workbench > Basic workbench extension points using commands

Papyrus shall provides a up-to-date list of its extension points, ISourceProviders and other useful extensions helpful for menu contributions.

Most papyrus-specific commands have been replaced with commands/handlers/menus. I close this task.
