Description Chris Aniszczyk CLA 2010-05-19 13:52:55 EDT 
We are using org.eclipse.ui.popupMenus which is the old way of managing menu contributions. We should move to using org.eclipse.ui.menus and commands. This will give us a lot more flexibility of how things are placed and activated.

The brunt of our menu contributions are added to the Team... menu which itself is an Object contribution. I played around a little bit with the new menu extension point, but wasn't able to contribute to this menu. Is this possible at all?
