Plugin ObjectClass for "Work Item Query"

Ranjan Kumar (11●1●3●4) | asked Feb 12 '15, 10:53 p.m.

Hi,
    I want to write a popupMenus plugin for the queries I have defined in RTC and would like to know which class/interface I should use as ObjectClass.

For example, for a "Work Item" I use:
<objectContribution
            objectClass="com.ibm.team.workitem.common.model.IWorkItemHandle"
            id="myId">

Thanks

Have you looked into https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2014/02/21/adding-context-menus-for-jazz-objects-to-the-rtc-eclipse-client/ and tried the approaches described there?

What should the menu do and what object should it trigger for are the questions you have to answer yourself to be able to identify the class you are looking for.

This is by the way more an Eclipse extension question and not really specific to RTC. The RTC specific part would only be what to do with the selection.

Thank you Ralph. I had written my first plugin (for Work Items) using your excellent examples :-)

I know what the plugin will do and how to implement that. I want to trigger my plugin against the "Work Item Query" object that I have created/defined in RTC. But I don't know which objectclass I should use while writing the plugin so that the new action becomes active when I right click on a query.

Thanks

I would suggest to read above post and try to use Yari and Plugin Spy as suggested to find out the class you need to trigger for. Unless someone else has the same requirement (which I am still not sure what it is) you won't likely get an answer here.

It's all about the answers!
