[ActionSets] 3.1 M6 vs. 3.1 RC1 [message #286283]

I recently tried to upgrade from Eclipse 3.1 M6 to 3.1 RC1. I ran into a
problem that didn't exist in the M6 build.

I have two plugins. One plugin depends on the other. The main plugin has
a defined ActionSet, Menu, and group marker.

Ex:

<actionSet
label="Database Connection"
description="Connect to DataBases"
visible="true"
id="com.gdais.eclipse.db.connection">
<menu
label="Database"
id="com.gdais.eclipse.db.menu1">
<groupMarker name="contents"/>
<separator name="additions"/>
</menu>
<action
toolbarPath="normal/database"
label="Open Connection"
icon="icons/ctool16/connect.gif"
tooltip="Open Database Connection"
class="com.gdais.eclipse.db.ui.ConnectToDatabase"
menubarPath="com.gdais.eclipse.db.menu1/contents"
id="com.gdais.eclipse.db.connect"/>
</actionSet>

In my other plugin, I have the following:

<actionSet
label="Database Loader"
description="Populate a Database"
visible="true"
id="com.gdais.set.database.loader.LoadAction">
<action
label="SL Database Loader"
class="com.gdais.set.database.loader.action.LoaderAction"
tooltip="Database Loader"
style="push"
menubarPath="com.gdais.eclipse.db.menu1/contents"
id="com.gdais.set.database.loader.action1"/>
</actionSet>

When I run my product, I get the message:

Invalid Menu Extension (Path is invalid):
com.gdais.set.database.loader.action1

It is complaining about the menubarPath value. This DID work in M6 (as
well as other previous versions). Does anyone here have any insight as to
what changed or what needs to be done?

Thanks,

Eric

I found a work around to my problem, but I don't think this is the way the
menu extension points should function. I had to re-define the menu in my
2nd plugin.

Ex:

<actionSet
label="Database Loader"
description="Populates Database"
visible="true"
id="com.gdais.set.database.loader.LoadAction">
<menu
id="com.gdais.eclipse.db.menu1"
label="Database">
<groupMarker name="contents"/>
</menu>
<action
class="com.gdais.set.database.loader.action.LoaderAction"
id="com.gdais.set.database.loader.action1"
label="SL Database Loader"
menubarPath="com.gdais.eclipse.db.menu1/contents"
style="push"/>
</actionSet>

I *SHOULD* have been able to just specify the menubarPath used in my
"root" plugin to avoid this workaround. As I stated before, this worked
in M6. I'm not sure what changed with RC1?

Any official solution to this problem? I really don't like hacking menus.

The official solution is to re-define the menu in every plug-in that wishes
to use it.

cheers,
