Description Dani Megert CLA 2003-08-11 14:34:52 EDT 
I20030812

In XML I defined an action with style="pulldown" and retarget="true".

The retargeted action only gets informed about button being pressed. The drop
down menu is not opened. To get the menu I had to register a delegate in the XML
(class="...") which handles the menu. The expected behavior would be to
delegate the opening of the drop down menu to the retargeted action as well.

Please note that above XML definition also results in errors being written to .log:
!ENTRY org.eclipse.ui 4 4 Aug 11, 2003 20:13:50.682
!MESSAGE Could not create action delegate for id:

This item has been fixed/superceded by the menu contribution mechanism - bug 154130

A command contributed to a menu can have its dropdown menu also filled in by a menuContribution, as well as a dynamic (programmatic) contribution

Obviously style="pulldown" and retarget="true" is still not working, hence this should be documented in the extension point doc together with the syntax that now works (i.e. something like:
The combination of style="pulldown" and retarget="true" is not supported. Instead use:
