Bug 22551 Hierarchy pane missing "New..." menu item in context menu [type hierarchy]
(R2.0) I can almost use Eclipse like a Smalltalk Class Hierarchy browser. This is one of two problems. My custom perspective has a Packages pane, a Hierarchy pane (which includes methods of course) and a code editor pane. I cannot create a new class that is a subclass of the selected class in the Hierarchy pane. Note that I can do this in the "Types" pane from the context menu. The workaround is to use the Packages context menu, but this does NOT pick up the superclass that I have selected in the Hierarchy pane.

fActionGroups.setContext(new ActionContext(getSite().getSelectionProvider().getSelection()));
		fActionGroups.fillContextMenu(menu);
		fActionGroups.setContext(null);
		
		
	
		
		
		
	}
	
	private void addOpenWithMenu(IMenuManager menu, IStructuredSelection selection) {
		
		
		if (selection.size() != 1)
			return;
		Object element= selection.getFirstElement();
		if (!(element instanceof IJavaElement))
			return;
		IResource resource= null;
		try {
			resource= ((IJavaElement)element).getUnderlyingResource();	
		} catch(JavaModelException e) {
			
		}
		if (!(resource instanceof IFile))
			return; 
		
		MenuManager submenu= new MenuManager(TypeHierarchyMessages.getString("TypeHierarchyViewPart.menu.open")); 
		submenu.add(new OpenWithMenu(getSite().getPage(), (IFile) resource));
