Hi!
I would like users to be able to extend the perspective menubar to be
able to initiate various application related tasks. To be able to
simulate a menu in GEF I have been looking at which draw2d components
would be appropriate. Do I merely need to create a composite using flow
containers and labels to achieve the desired result or are there other
draw2d components which are better suited?
Many Thanks, as always!

If you are popping up menus you should use menus, not figures.

Well, what I am trying to do is to allow the user to extend the menu bar
for the perspective - though to a limited extent. So, a popup menu is
not really what I am trying to simulate. There are other ways of solving
the problem (popping up a dialog, displaying the menu items in a tree,
etc.) but I would like to try the wysiwyg approach, if possible, with a
menu bar at the top of my frame displaying the existing options, and a
'<new option>' as the last entry (on the menu bar itself or the active
submenu) where the user could use direct editing to add a menu item. So,
in essence, the menu is an extension of my existing model for which edit
parts would be created, and then displayed in some way.
Hope the explanation helps... Any suggestions?
Many Thanks!
