By using the Command Framework in e3.6, toolbar can be contributed to specific View by defining locationURI as
toolbar:<view-id>.

We came across a problem, if we have muliples views having the same toolbar buttons (e.g. a search button on all views), can i define a common toolbar contribution to multiple views declarativly or programmatically?

Thanks.

There's no API to do this, since a view IActionBars returns an
IToolBarManager but
org.eclipse.ui.menus.IMenuService.populateContributionManage r(ContributionManager,
String) takes a ContributionManager.

I'm not sure what you mean here. Programmatically you can place a
CommandContributionItem(CommandContributionItemPamameter) in a view's
actionbar IMenuManager or IToolBarManager. That's the programmatic
equivalent to a menuContribution/command
