Creating sub-menu/actions through plugin.xml [message #460158]

Hi, I have seen several posts on creating sub-menu items and actions through the plugin.xml but I havent seen a concrete example of how to do this. Can someone post one since I am having a lot of difficulty in getting this to work. I am confused as to how menu, separator, group marker and action all tie in together through plugin.xml. So for example, I have a menu I want to create that appears as such:

Test Menu
|
-----Action1
______________

|
-----Action2
______________

|
-----Test Sub Menu
|
-----Action3
|
-----Action4
______________
|
-----Action5

Could anyone kindly help me? Thanks.

Check out the actionSet for org.eclipse.update.ui.softwareUpdates in the
org.eclipse.ui.ide/plugin.xml plugin.

http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.ui.ide/ plugin.xml?revision=1.163&view=markup

Define your menu items ... your menubarPath is composed of 0 or more
menu ids, and terminates with a group name.

Same with <action/> elements, the menubarPath is made up of your menu
ids and ends with the group you want the <action/> inserted into.
