I'm not sure what you mean by the "extension editor", could you
elaborate? Are you adding them programmatically via
ActionFactory.HELP_CONTENTS.create() or are you trying to adding them
via the org.eclipse.ui.menus extension point?

As of Eclipse 3.6.1 only the command is defined for them, as in the
org.eclipse.ui bundle:
<command
name="%command.helpContents.name"
description="%command.helpContents.description"
categoryId="org.eclipse.ui.category.help"
id="org.eclipse.ui.help.helpContents" />
As you see, no images are defined. Currently there exists a bug entry,
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=270007
which points to the problem, that you currently need to override
ActionBarAdvisor#makeActions and need to create and register these actions:
@Override
protected void makeActions(IWorkbenchWindow window) {
register(ActionFactory.RESET_PERSPECTIVE.create(window));
register(ActionFactory.HELP_CONTENTS.create(window));
register(ActionFactory.HELP_SEARCH.create(window));
register(ActionFactory.DYNAMIC_HELP.create(window));
}
such that they can be referred to in the org.eclipse.ui.menus extension
point.
