1)Can anyone please give me a link to a page which gives the details of all the tags used in plugin.xml file?

2)How should i add an action into an already existing menu item?
(PS- when i tried to specify an already existing menu item name in the label attribute of menu tag, a new menu item was created with the same name)

The list of tags is extensible, with each plugin contributing new tags
(confined to within an <extension/> element). See
http://help.eclipse.org/galileo/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse .platform.doc.isv/reference/extension-points/index.html
for an example.

Totally depend one where the original Menu is coming from. Do you know?
Which Menu are you referring to?

Paul, thank you for the link provided.

As for the second part of your question, I have provided an image of the menu here. I do not know where the original menu is coming from. As you can see, my menu item 'BankFusion' is being added as a new on though it already exists in the menu.
