Hi,
See attached KO examples :
Pending changes menu partially-KO
Pending changes menu unresolved-KO
Best regards
In particular, we want to extend the Pending Changes view, but this view is built using the deprecated org.eclipse.ui.popupMenus extension point.
This extension point is not flexible enough to add new actions where we want in the menu: we can only add actions where IBM created groupMarkers, and not anywhere between existing actions.
Also, we wanted to add a sub-menu between two of our actions but the sub-menu ends up after all the actions in the group.
And we can't add our own separators at the root of the existing menu.
It would be much better if IBM migrated the Pending Changes view to the current org.eclipse.ui.menus extension point which allows positioning items before or after existing items.
This change is long overdue: org.eclipse.ui.popupMenus has been deprecated since 2009 in favor of the new org.eclipse.ui.menus extension point which was introduced with the release of Eclipse 3.3 in 2007: https://archive.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.3-200706251500/whatsnew/eclipse-news-part4.html
