[Pydev-code] Can we add an action to the context menu of the PyDev editor?

[Florian S. <flo...@gm...>]

Hi everyone,

I have a plug-in that extends org.eclipse.ui.popupMenus
in order to add an action to the context menu of the PyDev
editor. Here's the relevant portion of my plugin.xml file:

<viewerContribution
            id="org.eclipse.olm.editor_extensions.python_add_comment"
            targetID="#PythonEditorContext">
         <action
               class="org.eclipse.olm.pinkhippo.editor_extensions.AddCommentDelegate"
               icon="icons/sample.gif"
               id="org.eclipse.olm.editor_extensions.editor_actions.add_comment"
               label="Add Comment"
               menubarPath="additions"/>
</viewerContribution>

Unfortunately, the code that handles this action and implements
IEditorActionDelegate has to access the editor, in the following way:

...
public void run(IAction action) {
		
		if(  editor.getEditorInput() != null &&
    		    editor.getEditorInput() instanceof IFileEditorInput	&&
		    editor instanceof AbstractTextEditor){
...

I say 'unfortunately', because PyDev seems to be complaining
about illegal access of some internal module. Here's the error  message:

Error received...
tried to access field
org.python.pydev.ui.pythonpathconf.InterpreterInfo.modulesManager from
class com.python.pydev.analysis.additionalinfo.builders.InterpreterObserver
tried to access field
org.python.pydev.ui.pythonpathconf.InterpreterInfo.modulesManager from

	at com.python.pydev.analysis.additionalinfo.builders.InterpreterObserver$1.run(InterpreterObserver.java:96)
	at org.eclipse.core.internal.jobs.Worker.run(Worker.java:58)


Moreover, since this error occurs the action that I tried to insert in the
context menu of the PyDev editor never appears there. The same code
runs perfectly for the context menu of the Java editor (i.e.
#CompilationUnitEditorContext
as the targetID).


Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong here?
Is it possible to extend the context menu of the PyDev editor?



Thanks,
Florian

PS: I am running Eclipse 3.2 on Linux, Ubuntu 7.04
and PyDev 1.3.8.
