Eclipse Application Toolbar (Coolbar) Problem. [message #1110648]

I have written a eclipse application, rcp application and now i am trying to add all actions(coolbar icons) present in eclipse to my application but however the coolbar has alignment problem !! i have attached the image of the problem.
Yes i have setShowCoolBar(true);
I Used code like this:

public fillCoolBar(ICoolBarManager coolbar){
    IToolBarManager fileToolbar1 = new ToolBarManager();
    fileToolbar1.add(new Separator(IWorkbenchActionConstants.NEW_GROUP));
    fileToolbar1.add(saveAction);
    coolbar.add(fileToobar1);
    coolbar.add(new Separator(IWorkbenchActionConstants.MB_ADDITIONS));
}

Above saveAction is obtained from:

ActionFactory.SAVE.create(window)

I have also registered these actions as:

register(saveAction)

in the makeActions(IWorkbenchWindow) function.
Also the icons are not movable!
I am using eclipse rcp juno SR2.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Try coolbar.setLockLayout(true);Action/icons inside coolbar are not movable/draggable. I am not getting what do you need exactly.

I am having similar problem. In difference to Harsha I create my toolbar items via plugin.xml.

Note that adding "?after=additions" to the locationURI does not make a difference.

<menuContribution locationURI="toolbar:org.eclipse.ui.main.toolbar">
	<toolbar id="MyPlugin.toolbars.myToolbar">
		<command> ...</command>
		<command> ...</command>
		<command> ...</command>
	</toolbar>
</menuContribution>

When I start my application and clear the applications workspace the toolbar-items appear correctly on the left side:

When I close the app, and re-start it without clearing the workspace the toolbar-items are right-aligned:

Is there any chance to get my toolbar-items always appear on the left side?
