Patch

Here is a patch I created to implement this functionality. I ended up writing this code myself so it does not need any IP processing. The characteristics of this patch are:

The extension point uses a class because it needs to have a method to get the tooltip text based on the locale.
Buttons can be added to any toolbar, the function AbstractButton.isAddedToToolbar(String) determines which toolbars it gets contributed to.
It is possible to specify a JavaScript file to be included in the jsp file for the toolbar.
Buttons can be on, off or hidden.

The code at present does not support a drop down menu but that would be easy to add, and somewhat harder to explain to users how it worked.

Test project

This is a test project which adds a home button to every toolbar which calls a function in an included javascript file.
