Build Identifier: 20100218-1602

I can add selected folders to source folder along with
right click -> Build Path -> Use as Source Path.
I want to do this action with keyboard shortcut, but there is no way to assign a key to this command.
I looked into related source codes a little of time.
It seems to be able to assign keys to commands which are configured with "org.eclipse.ui.commands" extension point. "Use as Source Path" is not a command of this type and so cannot assign key bindings.

I want to know whether my analysis is correct and get solution or workaround.

I'll be waiting your answer.
Thank you.

Yes, we currently don't have commands for all the build path actions from GenerateBuildPathActionGroup.

Fix would be to define them in the plugin.xml, add constants to IJavaEditorActionDefinitionIds, and set the command ids via Action#setActionDefinitionId(String).

OK, I understood totally.
