If the menu item is contributed through plugin xml, then there is a way
to test if a plugin is installed and/or active.
Look up in help->Platform Plugin Developer's
Guide->Refererence->Extension Point Reference->org.eclipse.ui.popupmenus,
lookup the enablement element, and lookup the pluginState attribute on it.
However, if your menu item must be programatically contributed, then you
can use:
Platform.getBundle(bundleID) and if it returns null the bundle is not
installed.
