Thank you for your answer. But i don´t want to brand my about dialog, i
want to contribute the "about" entry in the help menu in a
fragment.xml/plugin.xml.

Do you eman put the text in a properties file?
If so set the ABout Dialog text to '%aboutText' and then add the aboutText
values in a .properties file.
If you mean create your own About Dialog I think you need to create your
own Help menu and 'About' action - see RCP tutorial part 3 for an example

Thanks again. I think i have to explain whats the problem is and what i
want to do.
We have a application, which defines the about entry (help menu) by code:
this.aboutAction = ActionFactory.ABOUT.create( window );
this.aboutAction.setText( Messages.getString(
"MainWorkbenchAdvisor.menu.help.about" ) ); //$NON-NLS-1$
register( this.aboutAction );

Now we want to create a second application which is using this "main"
plugin, too. The text of this about menu entry is "About blabla" (blabla
is our app name). This text is defined in a messages.properties. Which
possibility do I have to change this text?
