I am new to eclipse plugin development, recently I got a task to implement annotation navigation toolbar menu feature similar to the one present in eclipse IDE, I have searched about this over net but didn't got any useful resources.

Any help in this direction is highly appreciated.

Is there a reason you wouldn't just use the navigation that's already there?

In much older releases, I'd have pointed you to making an action set part association, and then tying your implementations for navigation (unless you're a text editor, which already handles them) to those as global action handlers. I haven't tried it on 4.x, but http://help.eclipse.org/kepler/topic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/reference/extension-points/org_eclipse_ui_actionSetPartAssociations.html mentions that it's deprecated in favor of UI Commands, http://help.eclipse.org/kepler/topic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/reference/extension-points/org_eclipse_ui_commands.html . You should find more current examples in the Eclipse SDK itself.
