Description Andi Bur CLA 2012-08-24 12:53:38 EDT 
The idea and implementation of an extensible desktop exists for some time. There is however no extension point definition in scout for contributing them.

Add an extension point for contributing IDesktopExtensions and provide an AbastractExtensibleDesktop implementation that uses contributed desktop extensions.

Actually it is possible to contribute desktop-level menus using an IDesktopExtension (simply by adding inner classes implementing IMenu).
It would be great if menus could also be added to the desktop using the menus extension point.
Comment 2 Andi Bur CLA 2012-08-28 05:52:47 EDT 
implemented and committed on scout branch 3.8.
Comment 3 Matthias Zimmermann CLA 2013-07-08 17:25:39 EDT
