Hi all,

i'm trying to add multiple menus when starting eclipse, by creating
valid XML plug-ins with commands/commandHandler/menus/bindings, based on
some extension points.

Then i'm using the ExtensionRegistry.addContribution method to inject
the plug-in. For the contribution, i am using the contributor object
which contains my extension points and the 'CreateTemporaryUserToken'
method.

This works quite well, but only with a single plug-in. When i am trying
to add more contributions (where each of them has its own contributor),
the jface ContributionManager throws an IndexOutOfBoundsException when
executing this code:

public void insert(int index, IContributionItem item) {
if (index > contributions.size()) {
throw new IndexOutOfBoundsException(
"inserting " + item.getId() + "
at " + index); //$NON-NLS-1$ //$NON-NLS-2$
}
if (allowItem(item)) {
contributions.add(index, item);
itemAdded(item);
}
}


But i cant figure out why this exception is thrown ? Is it because i am
adding menu entries after eclipse has launched ? But why is there no
exception when creating a single plug-in ?

Regards,
Michael

Here's the complete exception stack-trace:

java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: inserting

Hi all,

i have changed the way my plug-ins are added, i am now creating a jar
bundle and load it via BundleContext.installBundle("id", inputStream).

But that does not seem to solve the problem (i still got
indexOutOfBounds & Undefined context exceptions).

So what exactly is the difference in activating a plug-in by moving a
jar bundle in the eclipse/plugin folder and calling the
BundleContext.installBundle(jarfile) ?

Is it the bundle context ? (I'm using the context which is given to my
core plug-in to install the generated bundle)

Or the timing ? When calling BundleContext.installBundle eclipse is
already running or launching.

Regards,
Michael
