Get the Main Menu Manager [message #705089]

Hi All,
Is there any API to get hold of Main Manu Manager in Eclipse (not view part the main one)?
Is this by design or I am missing something?
Regards,
Janusz

Isn't it this in ActionBarAdvisor (e3.x)

/**
* Fills the menu bar with the main menus for the window.
* <p>
* The default implementation does nothing.
* Subclasses may override.
* </p>
*
* @param menuBar the menu manager for the menu bar
*/
protected void fillMenuBar(IMenuManager menuBar) {
// do nothing
}

Assuming you're asking about an RCP/IDE app, then the short answer is: no. It's by design: there are other ways in which plugins contribute menus and menu items.

For a 3.x-style RCP app, your product provides WorkbenchWindowAdvisors to describe the initial menu layout and other plugins can contribute to that layout using extensions to the org.eclipse.ui.menus extension point. For a pure E4 app, you manipulate an EMF-based model; the underlying implementation may or may not use a MenuManager.
