Eclipse plug-in editor extension tab show “Generic” in “New” submenu


I am using "eclipse-rcp-helios-SR1-win32-x86_64"
64-bit eclipse running on JDK.

I am trying to add an action in my plugin via menu contribution. When I add "org.eclipse.ui.menus," right-click on it then select "New," I only the "Generic" option. I am expecting to see "menuContibution"

The issue is described in detail here, which also seems to include the solution: link From what I understand, the version of eclipse I have - helio SR1 - is an SDK version and should have the source included in the package. I am not sure what I need to do to make those additional options show up.


Solution

  • if you have the "Generic" it means that you don't have the source plugins. But you have downloaded the right package (RCP one). I guess your download might be corrupted. Can you try downloading it again from a different mirror?
