specifying location of a new group to be added the file menu [message #336093]

Hi,

I have been trying to add a new menu item under the file menu which will
also be its own group, that is, it will be surrounded by separators. I
would like to put this new group after the fileStart group (that is, after
the separator following the "New" and "Open File.."). I have successfully
created the new menu item with the seperators but by default this new item
is placed between the "Export.." and "Properties" menu items. I have been
reading the help file but have not yet found a way to place it where I
want it to go. Has anyone tried to do this before? If so, will you please
give me some advice?

Check out
org.eclipse.ui.internal.ide.WorkbenchActionBuilder.createFil eMenu() to
see the structure that is created for the File menu. What are you doing
to add these? In org.eclipse.ui.menus, the locationURI would be
something like menu:file?after=<id> where <id> is the ID of something
(like a group marker or separator) to begin inserting after.
