Multi Plugin Project Problems with Menu [message #511470]

Good day,

I seem to be having a little problem with telling how I want my Menu Items sorted in the MenuBar. I created a multi project Plugin Project. And I spread my function and views/perspectives over the plugins. Giving each project its own Menu Contribution to the org.eclipse.ui.main.menu. But now it seems to set the menu items at random on generation. I tried adding ?after=other.menu.id.

This how ever does not seem to work if I put it a menu item of the menu:org.eclipse.ui.main.menu (menuContribution).

if i try to the plugin menuContribution

menu:this.plug-in.menu.item?after=other.menu.id

The menu item completely disappears.

Does the plug-in that is having a refer 2 a other plug-in.menu.id have 2 know it. Do I need to add that plug-in to the Imported Packages. Because that would sort of defeat for me the purpose separating modular functions/perspectives in separate project.

If I eny one can shed some lights on this that would be great.

Hi Martijn,

You talk about menu items in the menu bar but do you mean menus? A menu must
have at least one menu item otherwise it will not show.

Hi Wim,

The menu has items. It shows if i do not use the ?after=other.menu.id action. But then I got this russian rullet going for the menu items showing. Whitch I ofcourse do not want.
