Appreciate if I can get some helps on the following issue:

I need to create menu items on eclipse main menu bar and toolbar items on eclipse global toolbar when a viewPart instance is created and to remove those menu items when the viewPart instance is disposed.

I tried the following eclipse APIs but could not make them to work:
org.eclipse.ui.menus.IMenuService
org.eclipse.ui.menus.AbstractContributionFactory
org.eclipse.jface.action.ToolBarContributionItem
org.eclipse.jface.action.MenuManager
org.eclipse.jface.action.ToolBarManager

The first issue I am facing is how to define the location where my menu item or toolbar item will be contributed.
