Which plugins are you including in your RCP app that is adding them?
org.eclipse.debug.ui? org.eclipse.search?

I have the same problem. My run configuration has neither org.eclipse.debug.ui nor org.eclipse.search in it but the menus Run and Search are there.

Someone has answered this in the forum but the topoc has been removed. Here is the answer(not mine) via Google Cache:

Hi,

when you use the plug-in for ide and others (I am not sure)... this will add the menus and tool buttons provided by those plug-in...

you can remove the unwanted menus from your application as shown below...

class ApplicationWorkbenchWindowAdvisor extends WorkbenchWindowAdvisor
{
void postWindowCreate()
{
IContributionItem[] mItems, mSubItems;
IMenuManager mm = getWindowConfigurer ().getActionBarConfigurer ().getMenuManager ();
mItems = mm.getItems ();
for (int i = 0; i < mItems.length; i++)
{
if (mItems[i] instanceof MenuManager)
{
mSubItems = ((MenuManager) mItems[i]).getItems ();
for (int j = 0; j < mSubItems.length; j++)
{
if (mItems[i].getId ().equals ("file"))
((MenuManager) mItems[i]).remove ("org.eclipse.ui.openLocalFile");
else if (mItems[i].getId ().equals ("help"))
{
((MenuManager) mItems[i]).remove ("group.updates");
((MenuManager) mItems[i]).remove ("org.eclipse.update.ui.updateMenu");
((MenuManager) mItems[i]).remove ("org.eclipse.ui.actions.showKeyAssistHandler");
}
}
}
}
}
}

All the Best!

I tried the following code and it removed single entries from the menus but not the menus itself (like the Run or Search menu).

    @Override
    public void postWindowCreate() {
        // remove unwanted menu entries
	List<String> unwantedItems = Arrays.asList(
		"org.eclipse.ui.openLocalFile", 
		"converstLineDelimitersTo", 
		"org.eclipse.ui.cheatsheets.actions.CheatSheetHelpMenuAction",
		"org.eclipse.debug.ui.actions.BreakpointTypesContribution" ,
		"ExternalToolsGroup" ,
		"org.eclipse.ui.externaltools.ExternalToolMenuDelegateMenu" ,
		"navigate" ,
		"org.eclipse.search.menu", 
		"org.eclipse.ui.run"
	);
	
        IMenuManager menuManager = getWindowConfigurer().getActionBarConfigurer().getMenuManager();
        removeUnwantedItems(unwantedItems, menuManager);
        
    }
    
    private void removeUnwantedItems(final List<String> unwantedItems, final IMenuManager menuManager) {
	IContributionItem[] items = menuManager.getItems();
	
	for (IContributionItem item : items) {
	    if (item instanceof IMenuManager) {
		removeUnwantedItems(unwantedItems, (IMenuManager) item);
	    }
	    
	    if (unwantedItems.contains(item.getId())) {
		menuManager.remove(item);
	    }
	}
    }

Any ideas why Run and Search are not removed?

Just a note. This kind of down-casting classifies as using internals.
There is not programmatic access to the WorkbenchWindow MenuManager,
except for during the WW creation when the ActionBarAdvisor gets to fill
it in.

It is 100% incompatible with the e4 initiative and eclipse 4.0 as the
MenuManager has been replaced.
