Description Stefan Wiese CLA 2012-07-19 05:23:57 EDT 
Build Identifier: 20120614-1722

In application.e4xmi there are two BindingContexts defined where the second one is a child of the first.
I created two BindingTables, one for each BindingContext. Added two KeyBindings (M1+Shift+R) for the RootContext and (M1+Shift+S) for the SubContext.
The first one executes the command, the second does not.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Always.

are these 2 contexts subcontexts in the generated Application.e4xmi?  Or are they at the root level, the same level as dialogAndWindow?  eg:

- org.eclipse.ui.contexts.dialogAndWindow
- - org.eclipse.ui.contexts.window
- - org.eclipse.ui.contexts.dialog
- RootContext
- - SubContext

?

Or I could just look at the project you attached ... working on that.

OK, you don't activate your binding context anywhere (that I could find).  Unless you do that, they won't do anything.
