Hello all,

I need to determine on which side of the workbench (top, bottom, left or right) a toolbar ContributionItem has been placed. I understand how to initially position an item using the org.eclipse.ui.menu menuContribution locationURI setting, but I am unsure how to determine an items current location after it has been moved within a RCP Workbench.

I've noticed that WorkbenchWindowControlContribution's have handy getCurSide() method, but unfortunately ContributionItem's don't have this method. I know how to calculate a ContributionItem's orientation, but this doesn't help me know on which workbench side items currently resides.

I've searched the RCP UI model without much luck.

Does anyone have any ideas?
