Hi, I have a RCP application and in it's ActionBarAdvisor I create the "root" menu.

protected void fillMenuBar(IMenuManager menuBar) {
    menuBar.add(new MenuManager("File", "file"));
    menuBar.add(new MenuManager("Edit", "edit"));
    menuBar.add(new MenuManager("Window", "window"));
}

Now I contribute a menuContribution with my command

<menuContribution locationURI="menu:edit?after=additions">
    <command commandId="menu.test.rcp.command2" style="push">
        <visibleWhen checkEnabled="true"></visibleWhen>
    </command>
</menuContribution>

and an handler for that command

<handler class="xxx.MyHandler" commandId="menu.test.rcp.command2">
    <activeWhen>
        <with variable="activeEditorId">
            <equals value="myEditorId">
            </equals>
        </with>
    </activeWhen>
</handler>

The problem is, that this doesn't work. The menu "Edit" doesn't show up unless I add any other command to that menu.
After that it works fine.
Does it mean that I can't have menu with only one menu contribution to that menu?
