      <text xml:space="preserve">===How do I add an action to the context menu of the members or hierarchy view?===

Since 7.3 ([1], [2]) it is possible to extend the context menu of the newly redesigned members and hierarchy view.

Plugin your action at the following extension points
&lt;pre&gt;
Navigator/Actions/Members/text/x-java
Navigator/Actions/Hierarchy/text/x-java
&lt;/pre&gt;

Then you get the "TreePathHandle" from the Node's lookup.

====A more or less complete example:====

&lt;pre&gt;
package de.markiewb.netbeans.sample.extendMembersAndHierarchyView;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import static javax.swing.Action.NAME;
import javax.swing.JMenuItem;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
import org.netbeans.api.java.source.TreePathHandle;
import org.openide.awt.*;
import org.openide.nodes.Node;
import org.openide.util.HelpCtx;
import org.openide.util.NbBundle;
import org.openide.util.actions.CookieAction;
import org.openide.util.actions.Presenter;

@ActionID(category = "Edit",
	id = "de.markiewb.netbeans.sample.extendMembersAndHierarchyView.SampleAction")
@ActionRegistration(
	displayName = "SampleAction")
@ActionReferences({
    @ActionReference(path = "Navigator/Actions/Members/text/x-java", position = 1150),
    @ActionReference(path = "Navigator/Actions/Hierarchy/text/x-java", position = 1150),
    @ActionReference(path = "Menu/File", position = 0)
})

	//show all treePathHandles
