Dynamic entries not supported in main toolbars? [message #329279]

I have added a <dynamic> entry to a main toolbar. The implementing class
gets constructed, but its #getContributionItems() never gets called. Are
dynamic contributions not supported in the main toolbar?

Thanks,
Jasper.

Dynamic entries are not supported in any of the ToolBars,
CompoundContributionItem only implements fill(Menu).

It's still do-able with your own implementation (and some hackery), but
the flickering could potentially be a problem (changing the main coolbar
can cause a full re-layout, and the same with view toolbars).
