Paul,
I want to use the basic "Edit" menu and plug in the REDO, UNDO, Cut and
etc actions.
In the EMF world they have EditingDomainActionBarContributor that switch
this values based on the editor. I want to duplicate the functionality
but for views.
In the EditingDomainActionBarContributor it gets initialized with the
top menu bar from the editor. Then each time the editor switches the
class uses the EditingDomian class to get the command stack and use it
in the menu.
I want to use the same command stack from EditingDoain, but in a view.
To implement that I need to top menu ActionBar reference.
I could not find any examples that show how to assign new action to the
Edit menu from a view. It is always using a popup menu or the view
action bar.

Yigal,
In the EMF newsgroup, there was some advice about how to do this in a
view; unfortunately I have no experience with views, other than views
like the outline which is a satellite to the editor.
