The elements in the MainToolbar of a Eclipse RCP application are made up declarative. When fragments are started, they contribute to the toolbar by adding a value to a pulldown, they add their portion also declarative.

But the order of the labels in the pulldown seems to be pure luck:

item1, item3, item2, item4, ...

Can I give them a predefined, fixed order? like "item1, item2, item3, item4"

To explain further more:

<!-- Main Plugin -->
<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.menus">
<toolbar id="de.example.mainToolbar">
  <command
    commandId="de.example.commands.item1"
    icon="item1.png"
    id="dropdowntoolbar.dropdown"
    label="%app.command.label.item1"
    style="pulldown"
    mode="FORCE_TEXT"
    tooltip="%app.command.tooltip.item1">
  </command> 
....
</toolbar>
  <menuContribution
    locationURI="menu:dropdowntoolbar.dropdown"
  >
  </menuContribution>
</extension>

each Fragment contributes to the command referencing via the menuContribution:

<!-- Fragment -->
<menuContribution locationURI="menu:dropdowntoolbar.dropdown">
  <command
    commandId="de.example.commands.item2"
    icon="item1.png"
    label="%app.command.label.item2"
    mode="FORCE_TEXT"
    style="push"
    tooltip="%app.command.label.tooltip.item2">
  </command>
</menuContribution>



I never finish anyth...

Hi Torsten,

I think that is caused by the order they are started and evaluated. I have no
solution. Maybe make the menu dynamic and add a listener to it that
reorganizes the entries?

In what order would you want them anyway? Alphabet? Is the order also
different between restarts?

Regards,

Wim
