Build Identifier: I20110613-1736

The synchronize view seems to use workbench resources as tree elements. This reduces the usability of this view: when you select an element in this view, you get all available Eclipse actions (e.g., findbugs, maven, etc.) which are not correlated to the synchronization. See screenshot. The synchronization views from CVS and SVN do not have this behavior. 

Expected behavior: the context menu should show only actions that are relevant to the synchronization. E.g. a commit action should be toplevel, currently it is hidden below the team menu. 

Reproducible: Always

I've just realized that the commit action is toplevel, it is only hidden because of bug #350585

This should be fixed by change 3769[1]
