Eclipse PluginDevelopment - Handlerclass not started by plugin.xml

Iam working at a project which shall open a View. It shall be opened by the contextmenu-entry. But it does not work. Everytime I open the contextmenu inside the new Eclipse Workspace, I get a Exception and it does not open the Handler someorg.handlers.ShowViewHandler

!MESSAGE Exception while dispatching event org.osgi.service.event.Event

I commented the plugin.xml with "what i expect it does"

Can anyone tell me what the problem is / why the handlerclass is not started?

<plugin>
     <extension point="org.eclipse.ui.commands">
      <command
            id="someorg.editor.ShowView"
            name="ShowView">
            <commandParameter
                  id="FeatureType"
                  name="feature type"
                  optional="false"
            />
      </command>
    </extension>

    <extension point="org.eclipse.ui.menus"><!--adds a contextmenu entry with the name "ShowtheView..."-->
        <menuContribution locationURI="popup:#TextEditorContext?after=group.find" > 
            <command
                 commandId="someorg.editor.ShowView"
                 label="ShowTheView...">
                <visibleWhen checkEnabled="false">
                    <reference definitionId="someorg.Editor.opened">
                    </reference>
                </visibleWhen>
                <parameter name="Type" value="ViewThis"/>
            </command>
        </menuContribution>
    </extension>

    <extension point="org.eclipse.ui.handlers"><!--opens the handlerclass "someorg.handlers.ShowViewHandler" where the View is computed.-->
        <handler
            class="someorg.handlers.ShowViewHandler"
            commandId="someorg.editor.ShowView">
            <activeWhen>
                <reference
                    definitionId="someorg.Editor.opened">
                </reference>
            </activeWhen>
        </handler>
    </extension>

I think this is because you are specifying the wrong id for your mandatory command parameter.

In org.eclipse.ui.commands you declare the parameter as

 <commandParameter
        id="FeatureType"
        name="feature type"
        optional="false"

so the id is FeatureType

but in org.eclipse.ui.menus you use: 

<parameter name="Type" value="ViewThis"/>

the name does match.
