public abstract class DynamicContextMenuService
extends java.lang.Object

A service that can be offered by plugins when a text area context menu item needs to be offered that is sensitive to the state of the TextArea it was requested * from.

Note: this service should only be used by certain plugins that need context information at the time that the context menu is requested. For all other actions, it is already possible for users to add menu items to the context menu, so please do not use this service from Plugins to add non-dynamic actions to the context menu.
