Menu Contributions/Populating a dynamic submenu

Add a dynamic submenu to the ProblemView menu

In Menu Contributions/Problems View Example we added 2 dynamic menus. You then have to extend the abstract CompoundContributionItem class in your provided class.

<menu id="org.eclipse.ui.views.problems.groupBy.menu"
    label="%ProblemView.GroupBy.label"
    mnemonic="%ProblemView.GroupBy.mnemonic">
  <dynamic class="org.eclipse.ui.views.markers.internal.GroupByItems"
      id="org.eclipse.ui.views.problems.groupBy.items"/>
</menu>

When your menu is populated, you'll have your getContributionItems() method called:

protected IContributionItem[] getContributionItems() {
    IContributionItem[] list = new IContributionItem[2];
    Map parms = new HashMap();
    parms.put("groupBy", "Severity");
    list[0] = new CommandContributionItem(null,
            "org.eclipse.ui.views.problems.grouping",
            parms, null, null, null, "Severity", null,
            null, CommandContributionItem.STYLE_PUSH);
 
    parms = new HashMap();
    parms.put("groupBy", "None");
    list[1] = new CommandContributionItem(null,
            "org.eclipse.ui.views.problems.grouping",
            parms, null, null, null, "None", null, null,
            CommandContributionItem.STYLE_PUSH);
    return list;
}
