Fw: Add to Filter. . .

Aaron, everything you need is definitely available via APIs (eg, members
within classes), which are documented in the "Extending the Remote
System Explorer" section in the documentation. You'd have to use the
RSE extension point "popupMenus", also described in the docs, in order
to add an action to the popup menu for members. The hardest part
would just be learning SWT to write the dialog to prompt for the filter:
you'd have to use a tree-view of filter pools which expand into filters.
You could either use a raw SWT Tree item or better yet a JFace
TreeViewer. For the dialog window, you are best off starting with
the base dialog class we supply, and document, in the RSE.

>In 5.1, while we don't have an "Add to Filter..." action (good idea)

I haven't done any plug-in writing to date so this may be a dumb question,
but would this be something that a Java programmer could add to the right
click properties?  Would I have access to a list of filters for particular
filter pools and have the ability to add the member to the filter
programmatically?
