Using eclipse menu for code generation [message #1137171]

Hi, i'm creating an eclipse plugin that generate documentation using xtend/xtext. What i want to do is creating documentation by pressing a custom menu entry in the eclipse menu bar, disabling the automatic translation.
I tried to add a custom menu entry (following a tutorial found on the net) adding this code to the UI project's plugin.xml automatically created by xtext:

...
<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.menus">
	...
	<menuContribution
               allPopups="false"
               locationURI="org.xtext.example.mydsl2.ui.menuContribution">
            <menu
                  label="Generate Documentation"
                  mnemonic="Generate &amp;Documentation">
               <command
                     commandId="org.xtext.example.mydsl2.ui.genDocCommand"
                     label=" Generate Doc"
                     mnemonic=" Generate Doc"
                     style="push">
               </command>
            </menu>
         </menuContribution>
</extension>

...

<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.commands">

	<command
            defaultHandler="org.xtext.example.mydsl.ui.GenerateDocumentationHandler"
            id="org.xtext.example.mydsl2.ui.genDocCommand"
            name="Generate Documentation">
    </command>
</extension>

...

As i launch an eclipse istance, nothing appears on the menu bar. So, where did i go wrong??
