HI!
Im trying to implement an Undo tolbar button that will have a dropdown
menu of the most rescent undo-able actions. I am implementing the
toolbar through an ActionBarContributor and the Undo does have a
RetargetAction that in its constructor has the IAction.AS_DROP_DOWN_MENU
(so i can get the black arrow to appear). My problem is how to populate
the black arrow's list. (Right now it just fires the Undo action).
Any Help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't think you can get to the undo and redo Stacks.
Open a bugzilla. You would have to subclass and keep track of the commands
yourself.

Well it depends where i am trying to implement the population of the
drop down menu. Right now I have thigns set up for a context menu where
it gives a detailed undo description (i.E. "Undo: object property
change" etc.) So I think i can figure it out. I just need help with what
class needs to implement what and where, to get this thing to work
right. (I know that sounds really confusing....that kinda where I'm at
right now).

Alright sorry, you were right. We are keeping track of our CommandStack.
I just dont know how I should be implementing that action associated
with clicking the black down arrow. I know the Action is supposed to
Implement IMenuCreator, but after that I believe I am missing a few
details. Is there anything outside my Action class that needs to do
anything to get the drop down menu to work?
Thanks, -Matt

We have one example of this type of Action in the PaletteCustomizerDialog.
You can look at our implementation but this is really a JFace question.

I found the class you were talking about...I don't know if thats along
the lines of what I am looking for. I am trying to keep uniformity in my
code and everything else thus far has been implemented be using
RetargetActions and ActionBarContributor. (I know within the constructor
of RetargetAction it provides for IAction.AS_DROP_DOWN MENU to cause the
black arrow to appear.

Actually, that contribution item is irrelevant. Look for the use of the
item, and the action which goes into it is an IMenuCreator
