In your view part set up the context menu like this:

MenuManager contextMenu = new MenuManager();
contextMenu.setRemoveAllWhenShown(true);

Control control = viewer.getControl();
Menu menu = contextMenu.createContextMenu(control);
control.setMenu(menu);

getSite().registerContextMenu(contextMenu, viewer);

The registerContextMenu call makes the menu available to the org.eclipse.ui.menus extension point so you can define menu items like this:

  <extension
         point="org.eclipse.ui.menus">
      <menuContribution
            locationURI="popup:your view id here">
         ... you menu items ...
