I'm writing an add-in for MonoDevelop, starting from
http://monodevelop.com/Developers/Articles/Creating_a_Simple_Add-in. I
have this working, and would like to add a context menu in the source
code and the xml editors. Unfortunately the page
http://monodevelop.com/Developers/Articles/The_Command_System has only
"TODO" under the context menu section.

Browsing the latest source from Git I've tried all of the following,
but none of them work:

    <Extension path = "/MonoDevelop/Ide/SourceEditor/ContextMenu/Editor">
        <CommandItem
id="MonoDevelop.Samples.DateInserter.DateInserterCommands.InsertDate"
/>
    </Extension>

    <Extension path = "/MonoDevelop/Ide/SourceEditor2/ContextMenu/Editor">
        <CommandItem
id="MonoDevelop.Samples.DateInserter.DateInserterCommands.InsertDate"
/>
    </Extension>

    <Extension path = "/MonoDevelop/SourceEditor/ContextMenu/Editor">
        <CommandItem
id="MonoDevelop.Samples.DateInserter.DateInserterCommands.InsertDate"
/>
    </Extension>

    <Extension path = "/MonoDevelop/SourceEditor2/ContextMenu/Editor">
        <CommandItem
id="MonoDevelop.Samples.DateInserter.DateInserterCommands.InsertDate"
/>
    </Extension>


btw I'd be happy to update that page, if appropriate.

thanks,

Jools
