Hello All,
I have created RCP application which has some actions defined in
preStartup() method and postStartup() method and also i am contributing
actions from fillActionBars() method and i am calling this method from the
class which extends WorkbenchAdvisor class everything works fine when i
run it has RCP application.
Problem: but the problem is when i run this application as Eclipse IDE
this class will never been called and all those methods will not going to
be executed.

Please can anyone tellme how to run my application in both RCP and IDE.
Is there any class which i need extend to run as IDE so that i can
contribute my actions.

Thanking you in Advance.

Regards,
Chethan.

It doesn't work that way. As an RCP you can take advantage of the
ActionBarAdvisor class to fill in the main menu.

As an eclipse plugin, you can use org.eclipse.ui.actionSets
(IActionDelegate) or org.eclipse.ui.menus (commands+handlers) to
contribute to the main menu. These extensions will also work in your
RCP app (the extensions are available to both RCP and IDE, but the
advisor class is only available to RCP)
