Docs for getting started with org.eclipse.ui.menus / handlers ? [message #326749]

Hi all,

I'm wondering what the recommended doc is as starting point for
org.eclipse.ui.menus / handlers / core.expressions and the like.

I find the extension points reference a bit hard to consume, and I
haven't seen lots of examples either. No luck searching for Articels nor
for a webcast on live.eclipse.org -- where should I start looking?

The EclipseCon 2007 presentation looks quite OK but I had hoped for
something more article-style with examples...
http://www.eclipsecon.org/2007/index.php?page=sub/&id=36 92
should I go for the Wiki,
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Menu_Contributions
?

Cheers,

Mostly the Wiki. From Paul Webster's signature:

http://wiki.eclipse.org/Platform_Command_Framework
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Command_Core_Expressions
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Menu_Contributions
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Menus_Extension_Mapping

Other information:
http://help.eclipse.org/help33/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse. platform.doc.isv/guide/workbench.htm
is the starting place for 3.3, it walks through the
org.eclipse.ui.examples.contributions plugin. This plugin has been
updated with more examples in HEAD for 3.4 as per the eclipsecon talk,
http://www.eclipsecon.org/2008/?page=sub/&id=221

There is an article in the works as well, although it's not likely to be
finished until after 3.4.
