We have a set of dynamic actions that are created in code when a new
selection is chosen from our view. The actions are displayed in the
context menu when you right click the selected item.

Here is a typical entry:

ContextMenuAction createNewMap = new ContextMenuAction(object);

createNewMap.setText("create map");
createNewMap.setImageDescriptor(WorkbenchImages.getImageDesc riptor(IWorkbenchGraphicConstants.IMG_CTOOL_HOME_NAV));
createNewMap.setHoverImageDescriptor(WorkbenchImages.getImag eDescriptor(IWorkbenchGraphicConstants.IMG_CTOOL_HOME_NAV_HO VER));

actionList.add(createNewMap);

I want to create a context menu that has a sub menu so it might look like
this:

create->map
object
list

How do you go about displaying the text to have a nested menu on the right
context menu?

Something like:
MenuManager menuInsertCharacters = new MenuManager("Insert", "idInsert");
parentMenu.add(menuInsertCharacters);
menuInsertCharacters.add(actionInsertXMLComment);
