Hello
Im new to Eclipse RCP but right now i have a BIG problem that i need to solve ASAP.
I have created a menu named File.
Now i need a menu item called New. In this menu items i need more submenu items like Project, Blank Page.
So my menu should look like this:
File
-New
- Project
- Blank page
- Save
-Exit.

I what to create this structure using extensions from exlipse and not JAVA code. Can anyone PLEASE PLEASE help me on this issue ?
Thank you

Look at the definition for actionSets:

http://help.eclipse.org/help32/topic/org.eclipse.platform.do c.isv/reference/extension-points/org_eclipse_ui_actionSets.h tml

There's an example there that shows the use of 'menubarPath' to set up the menus structured the way that you'd want, so you'd have:

file/
file/new
file/new/project
file/save

etc.

now one more question.
File is a menu right .
Now new is an action, and the same is project ?
or new MUST be another menu inside the file menu ?
Thank you

I think if you were to do that, new would be a menu.
