Hi,

i have a "File" menu in ui-plugin and a "Reports" menu in reports-plugin.
when i start my application, the order of the menus are:

Reports, File

i want the following order:

File, Reports

what must i do?

here's the File-menu xml:

<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.actionSets">
<actionSet
...>
<menu
id="fileMenu"
label="%standardActionSet.fileMenu"
>
<separator name="standardGroup"/>
</menu>
<action
.../>
</actionSet>
</extension>

and here's the Reports-menu xml:

<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.actionSets">
<actionSet
...>
<menu
id="reportsMenu"
label="%menu.reports"
path="fileMenu">
<separator name="reportsGroup"/>
</menu>
<action
.../>
</actionSet>
</extension>

when path is filled out in reportsMenu, the application doesn't start.
without path, the order is wrong!

usually you put at least some items in your main menu using the
ActionBarAdvisor.

ex: fileMenu(File) additions(group) helpMenu(Help)

Then for any menus you create in your actionSets, you are making a path
of <menuId>/<menuId>/<groupId>

ex: to put something in the File menu, you would use a path of
"fileMenu" or "fileMenu/additions". To put a top level menu between File
and Help, you would use a path of "additions". etc.
