How can I register a toolbar? [message #327439]

Hi,

I have an EditorPart that uses many trees and tables and many toolbars
(ToolBarManagers) for each tree and table. I am able to register popup
context menus for these so that other plugins may contribute to the
context menu by a call such as:

myEditor.getSite().registerContextMenu("myid.popupmenu", menuMgr,
treeViewer);

But is it possible to do the same for a toolbar so that other plugins
can add their own toolbar buttons/actions?

Thanks in advance.

I should make it clear that the toolbar is not a main toolbar. It is
one of many in a composite view.

You can register a toolbar for command contributions, org.eclipse.ui.menus.

When creating the toolbar use the IMenuService to populate it with an ID
unique to that view/toolbar and use the IMenuService to released the
toolbar before disposing it.
