Fill Menu with RCP and e4 [message #857362]

Hello,

I'm working on an application which mix RCP and e4 technologies. (There is a Appliation class, ApplicationWorkbenchAdvisor class, ApplicationWorkbenchWindowAdvisor class, ApplicationActionBarAdvisor class and a LegacyIDE.e4xmi)

In the ApplicationActionBarAdvisor i fill the main menu like this :

@Override
protected void fillMenuBar(IMenuManager menuBar) {
final MenuManager fileMenu = new MenuManager("&File", IWorkbenchActionConstants.M_FILE);
menuBar.add(fileMenu);
fileMenu.add(exitAction);
}

In the e4 application model i have a Menucontribution (parentId = org.eclipse.ui.main.menu)

<menuContributions xmi:id="_TKNd8I-GEeG2MIA3k-dHyw" parentId="org.eclipse.ui.main.menu">
<children xsi:type="menu:Menu" xmi:id="_YH-YcI-GEeG2MIA3k-dHyw" elementId="test2" label="Views">
<children xsi:type="menu:HandledMenuItem" xmi:id="_aemRkI-GEeG2MIA3k-dHyw" elementId="test2.showview" label="Show View" command="e4.show.view"/>
</children>
</menuContributions>

When i launch the application I have only menu items defined in my e4 application model (The menu "File" is not visible).

My question is How i can begin to fill the main windows menu in the ApplicationActionBarAdvisor the continue to populate it with the e4 application model ?. I'm sure i misunderstand something.

Thanks a lot.

What application are you launching? Is it your RCP application? Or the e4 application?

I launch the RCP Application class : (public class Application implements IApplication)

in my plugin.xml :
<extension
id="application"
point="org.eclipse.core.runtime.applications">
<application>
<run
class="fr.[...].application.Application">
</run>
</application>
</extension>
[...]
<extension
id="product"
point="org.eclipse.core.runtime.products">

<product
application="fr.[...].application.application"
[...]
<property
name="applicationXMI"
value="application/LegacyIDE.e4xmi">
</property>
