An action set A can't refer to a menu defined in another action set B (even if they're in the same plug-in), since A may be visible and B not visible. The workaround is to define exactly the same <menu> element in all action sets that add to it. You may have been getting lucky in 3.0.x, but this has never been supported. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 36389 *** |
In 3.0.2, I was able to have one plug-in add menu items to another plug-in's menu. Here is a fragment from the plug.xml of the plug-in that is being extended: <extension point="org.eclipse.ui.actionSets"> <actionSet label="%ActionSet.label" visible="true" id="org.eclipse.perfmsr.ui.actions"> <menu label="%Menu.label" id="org.eclipse.perfmsr.menu"> <separator name="snapshots"></separator> <separator name="all"></separator> <separator name="other"></separator> <!-- This group can be extended by other plugins. --> <separator name="additions"></separator> </menu> And here is a fragment from the plugin.xml that is trying to add some additional menu items: <action label="%OpenSnapshots.label" tooltip="%OpenSnapshots.tootip" class="org.eclipse.perfmsr.ui.client.OpenSnapshotsViewActionDelegate" menubarPath="org.eclipse.perfmsr.menu/additions" id="org.eclipse.perfmsr.ui.client.opensnapshotsview"> </action> In 31RC1 I now get: Invalid Menu Extension (Path is invalid): org.eclipse.perfmsr.ui.client.opensnapshotsview
