George,
I'm not sure how others feel, but my feeling is that this mailing list
is primarily intended for communication with/among the people developing
the platform itself, so I think it's generally more appropriate ask
usage questions on the forum:
https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/f/11/
That being said, the only IClipboardSupportFactory I could find was this:
https://git.eclipse.org/c/gmf-runtime/org.eclipse.gmf-runtime.git/tree/org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.emf.clipboard.core/src/org/eclipse/gmf/runtime/emf/clipboard/core/IClipboardSupportFactory.java
But that's from GMF and how to use that is not the expertise of the
folks developing the platform. It doesn't look like the GMF forum is
very helpful so sending you there probably won't help:
https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/f/16/
Perhaps GMF is using a class derived from EMF and this menuAboutToShow
method is being called:
https://git.eclipse.org/c/emf/org.eclipse.emf.git/tree/plugins/org.eclipse.emf.edit.ui/src/org/eclipse/emf/edit/ui/action/EditingDomainActionBarContributor.java#n614
You'll need to debug how the actions are being added and which ones are
being added.
Regards,
Ed

Hi everyone,
This is my first post and I’m not sure if I’m posting to the right
mailing list.
I inherited a plugin development project and I’m learning my way
through the code and Eclipse plugin development. So if my question is
not and use of terms is not clear let me know.
Our application uses IClipboardSupportFactory to take care of copy /
past that are on the menu-bar. We also have code that provides copy /
past function off a popup menu. This code is NOT invoking the same
copy / past that code that gets used from the menu-bar copy / past,
i.e. IClipboardSupportFactory. Instead, it is using our own class
that inherits from GlobalAction and it has a different logic for copy
/ past which is only copying and pasting the UI elements not the
underlying metadata of our application associated with the UI elements.
My question to the group is this, when I create my popup-menu how do I
add to IMenuManager the copy / past handlers of
IClipboardSupportFactory? If I can do this, then a copy / past action
from the popup-menu’s copy / past selection will do the right thing.
Btw, using the short-cut keys of Ctrl-C / Ctrl-V is working. They
invoke the copy / past handler off IClipboardSupportFactory.
Thanks,
-- George
