If you use a Separator as first item in the Menu, the design still shows the separator. In RCP / RAP without IAD, it is hidden. A use-case for this are the MB_ADDITIONS which often occur as first item in the menu.

  protected void fillMenuBar( final IMenuManager menuBar ) {
    MenuManager fileMenu = new MenuManager( "File",
                                            IWorkbenchActionConstants.M_FILE );
    menuBar.add( fileMenu );
    fileMenu.add(new Separator(IWorkbenchActionConstants.MB_ADDITIONS));
    fileMenu.add( importAction );
    fileMenu.add(new Separator(IWorkbenchActionConstants.MB_ADDITIONS));
    fileMenu.add( exportAction );
    fileMenu.add(new Separator(IWorkbenchActionConstants.MB_ADDITIONS));
    fileMenu.add( exitAction );
  }
