I really enjoy the new native shell ToolBar on Mac OS. But most of my RCP users are still Windows users. So I'd like to use the native tool bar on Mac and the standard tool bar on Windows in a JFace ApplicationWindow, but configure it independently from a specific tool bar implementation via a JFace ToolBarManager.
Unfortunately the new nice ToolBar on Mac OS does not really integrate very well with the ApplicationWindow. Usually an ApplicationWindow's ToolBarManager is created before the shell and the actual tool bar which is created by the ToolBarManager. To use the native tool bar, the ToolBarManager has to be created after the shell to create it for the shell's native tool bar.
I came up with a solution involving a lot of if (Util.isMac) { ... } clauses but in the end it seems that the native ToolBar cannot be managed by a ToolBarManager.
update always crashes in update(property: String) of the ActionContributionItems since the widgets (tool items) don't exist (although update(property: String) seems to be called only if a widget exists...)
Are there plans for an integration of the new platform specific tool bars into the JFace ApplicationWindow? Something like addShellToolBar according to addToolBar(style: Int) would be nice.
Did anyone successfully managed a native ToolBar with a ToolBarManager?
