hi,
I have problems contributing Toolbars to by own Editor. I try to add them
by calling:

myEditor.getEditorSite().getActionBars().getToolBarManager() .add(myAction);

I get the follwing exception:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Group not found: group.editor
at
org.eclipse.jface.action.ContributionManager.addToGroup(Cont ributionManager.java:122)
at
org.eclipse.jface.action.ContributionManager.prependToGroup( ContributionManager.java:365)
at
org.eclipse.ui.internal.EditorActionBars.getToolBarManager(E ditorActionBars.java:254)
...

what am I doing wrong?

the EditorActionBars uses a constant from eclipse, but I don't know how to
register that group or even where to register.

Does anyone have more information about editors and toolbars? Does an
editor have a Toolbar, actually?

thanks to Olivier Crameri.

Actually you have to manually add the group marker for group.editor in
order for the toolbar items to work. Note that this is only necessary if
you are building a plugin that is intended to run in RCP mode.

You can do this via by inserting the following lines in your ActionBuilder:

ICoolBarManager cbManager = configurer.getCoolBarManager();
cbManager.add(new GroupMarker(IWorkbenchActionConstants.GROUP_EDITOR));

Besides, bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=49494 was
resolved, so it will happen automatically.
