SQL Developer

JDeveloper 12.1.3

Windows 7 Pro 64 Bit

SQK Developer 4.1.1

I've had a look at the JDeveloper extension examples, looked at https://java.net/projects/jdev-extensions/pages/Trigger-hooks#Menus, and worked with the Bedent extension PDF but I am struggling to understand how to implement sub-menus below an existing View menu entry.

Can someone show me how to create the necessary extension.xml elements so that I can create a set of sub-menus below an existing extension menu (GeoRaptor - added to view menu)?

The menu + sub-menus I want is:

View>GeoRaptor> Open Map

                         > Load Shapefile

                         > Manage Metadata

                         > About"

The current code implements command/controller code for a single "GeoRaptor" menu entry. Pointers as to how to implement a single sub-menu entry (say "Open Map" below) is all I want: I can build the rest from that as a template.

Some indication of how to build the controller etc for "Open Map" would be useful.

The relevant part of my extension.xml is as follows:

                                     before="javax.ide.NEW_SECTION_ID">

                                <item action-ref="org.GeoRaptor"/>

                            </section>

                        </menu>

                    </menubar>

                </menus>
