Hello, i know you can, in theory, use viewShortcut to put a menuAction
in the Window/showView menu.

Can you tellme how to enable the Windows/showView menu?

At this moment i only have one menu in my RCP "File", so when i use this
extension point i get no results since no "windows/show view" is
automatically populated.

so, how can i enable this placeholder
can i use this extension with my own File/showView menu?

thanks in advance.

Add the following in your ActionAdvisor:

private final void addPerspectiveActions(MenuManager menu) {
MenuManager showViewMenuMgr = new MenuManager(<your label>, <your id>);
IContributionItem showViewMenu =
ContributionItemFactory.VIEWS_SHORTLIST.create(window);
showViewMenuMgr.add(showViewMenu);
menu.add(showViewMenuMgr);
}
