Positioning buttons in the toolbar [message #296329]

I would like to place my "Export" button right next to the save and print
buttons in the file section of a multipage editor's toolbar.

I'm adding this action from the plugin.xml of plugin A where my target
"my.MultiPageEditor" is in plugin B. From what I have read in the eclipse
help this should be straightforward. Utilize the constants defined in
IWorkbenchActionContstants such as
toolbarPath="org.eclipse.ui.workbench.file/save.group".

However no matter what I set the toolbarPath to it always gets appended to
the end of the toolbar menu. Am I doing something fundementally
incorrect? Any ideas?

Straight out of my plugin.xml...
<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.editorActions">
<editorContribution
targetID="my.MultiPageEditor"
id="my.export.action">
<action id="my.export.action"
label="%export.action.label"
tooltip="%export.action.tooltip"
icon="icons/export.gif"
toolbarPath="org.eclipse.ui.workbench.file/save.group"
class="my.ExportAction">
</action>
</editorContribution>
</extension>

Thanks for the help.
Justin

I'm not sure, but it might be:
group.file/save.group

Check out WorkbenchActionBuilder

I can't figure out how to get it in the same cool item, but I can get it
close. Try

toolbarPath="save.ext"

cheers,
