Where is it defined in the IDE... i've been trying to find the URI
definition somewhere in the ide jars.
This is what i'm doing
IMenuService menuService =
(IMenuService)PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getService( IMenuService.class );
MenuManager menuMgr = new MenuManager( "ToolbarPopup",
"popup:my.popup.id" );
menuMgr.add( new Separator(
IWorkbenchActionConstants.MB_ADDITIONS ) );
menuService.populateContributionManager( menuMgr,
"popup:my.popup.id" );
Menu m = menuMgr.createContextMenu( coolbar );
coolbar.setMenu( m );
In my plugin.xmls i just make contributions the the
"popup:my.popup.id?after=additions"
This works... i was just trying to figure out the proper way since i'm
seeing some funny business when toolbars show/hide themselves.

Paul,
Thanks a ton for the input!
I need to make contributions to the popup on the coolbar.
I understand that I may be doing it incorrectly but how do I do it
properly?
I'm sure this is straight forward... every application that uses the RCP
would want this??

Paul, I've done some research and found where the IDE plugins define the
coolbar popup:
org.eclipse.ui.internal.ide.WorkbenchActionBuilder:
protected void fillCoolBar(ICoolBarManager coolBar)
{
IActionBarConfigurer2 actionBarConfigurer = (IActionBarConfigurer2)
getActionBarConfigurer();
{ // Set up the context Menu
coolbarPopupMenuManager = new MenuManager();
coolbarPopupMenuManager.add(new
ActionContributionItem(lockToolBarAction));
coolbarPopupMenuManager.add(new
ActionContributionItem(editActionSetAction));
coolBar.setContextMenuManager(coolbarPopupMenuManager);
IMenuService menuService = (IMenuService)
window.getService(IMenuService.class);
menuService.populateContributionManager( coolbarPopupMenuManager,
"popup:windowCoolbarContextMenu");
}
}
I've tried this and it seems to work great if all toolbar items were
added programatically but as soon as a declared toolbar item shows up
the active toolbar doesn't seem to fwd the 'getmenu' call up to the
Coolbar. It seems to ALWAYS work when you right click on any toolbars
handle ( vertical dots ).
Is this behavior you expect or is there some code that i'm missing to
make sure that the popup menu shows on all toolbars in the coolbar?
Thanks in advance.
