Description Markus Tiede CLA 2011-12-20 04:34:59 EST 
We are currently having problems with CompoundContributionItems when our Jubula Juno M4 feature runs in 4.2 context (see bug 367076).

We are intensively using dynamic menu contributions in the main toolbar as well as in view toolbars. The button for the dynamic menu itself gets shown but it has neither a dropdown arrow nor a dropdown menu. The following code works fine in 3.7.x

The code for one of our CompoundContributionItems can be found at:

http://git.eclipse.org/c/jubula/org.eclipse.jubula.core.git/tree/org.eclipse.jubula.client.ui.rcp/src/org/eclipse/jubula/client/ui/rcp/contributionitems/StartAutContributionItem.java#n39

And the dynamic declarative menu extension for the main toolbar is here:

Dynamic items are currently getting through.

org.eclipse.ui.internal.menus.MenuAdditionCacheEntry.createMenuCommandAddition(IConfigurationElement) needs to correctly generate a tool item with a menu with the correct ID so it can be shown.

org.eclipse.e4.ui.workbench.renderers.swt.HandledContributionItem.getMenu(MMenu, ToolItem) needs to go through the MenuManagerRenderer for standard MMenus.

Provide datafilling of dropdown tool items v01

Create the MMenu required, and call createGui(*) at the appropriate time.
