Overriding Edit command in Application.e4xmi from fragment.e4xmi [message #1211185]

I have a fairly generic e4 application with an edit menu that includes
Copy, Paste, Delete items. These menu items map to the standard ID's for
commands:
org.eclipse.ui.edit.copy
org.eclipse.ui.edit.paste
org.eclipse.ui.edit.delete

I also have default handlers in the application.e4xmi

I also have a Part with a special viewer in a separate plugin with an
fragment.e4xmi
I have view menus and context menus working.

Now I want to override the Delete command for this special viewer:
when something is selected in the viewer, the Delete menu item is
attached to the context menu.

I want the special handler to be active when the MPart with special
viewer is active, so I create the handler under the Part:

+ Model Fragment (children)
+-+ Part
+-+ Menus
+-+ Handlers
+-+ Handler - special delete handler

I can create class and ID etc for the handler, but I cannot specify the
command!!
So I import the command to override org.eclipse.ui.edit.delete in the
header of the fragment.
The I can add the org.eclipse.ui.edit.delete to the Handler so all
appears well.

When I run I cannot start the application with this error:

java.lang.ClassCastException:
org.eclipse.e4.ui.model.application.ui.menu.impl.HandledMenuItemImpl
cannot be cast to org.eclipse.e4.ui.model.application.commands.MCommand

It is complaining that you are setting a MHandledMenuItem while you should set a MCommand. This occurs while the fragments are merged that's why get it on startup. If you can't figure it out yourself through the relevant e4xmi part here so we can take a look.

Hypothesis:
Can it be caused because menu items and commands have the same ID?
Answer:
Yes when removing duplicate ID's the problem disappeared.
Is it time for a application/fragment.e4xmi builder that check for
duplicate ID's and gives a Problem?
