Add popup menu to Eclipse Problems view

I wish to add a popup menu to the Eclipse Problem View. I can add the menu but I want it to only appear under certain condition. Like for example when a certain type of problem is selected in the problems view.

Assuming you are using the "org.eclipse.ui.menus" extension point and the command framework, you can set the visibleWhen part of the menu definition to something like;

 <visibleWhen>
    <with variable="selection">
      <iterate>
        <and>
          <instanceof value="com.example.MyClass">
          </instanceof>
        </and>
      </iterate>
    </with>
  </visibleWhen>

This should only make the option visible when the selected items are of the correct instance. It is also possible to set enabled and active states on command handlers in a similar way.
