How to register form section toolbar? [message #336974]

I attached a toolbar to a section in a form like so:

SectionPart part = ...
ToolBarManager manager = new ToolBarManager(SWT.FLAT);
ToolBar toolbar = manager.createControl(part.getSection());
manager.update(true);
part.getSection().setTextClient(toolbar);

Now is there a way to register this toolbar so items can be contributed
via the plugin.xml (perhaps similar to the way context menus can be
registered)?

You have to do that yourself using the MenuManager.populate* method.
Don't forget to unpopulate and dispose your toolbar manager.

I use the menuContributions URI: section:id, where id is an id that your
section represents.

Thanks; but where do I get the MenuManager from (I'm in an EditPart)?

you can call getSite().getService(IMenuManager.class);

Still having some trouble: The IMenuManager (from
org.eclipse.jface.action.*) doesn't have a "populate" method. There is a
"fill" method, but then how is the ID specified? Also, the code above is
returning null (this is in an RCP application)...

For the record:

IMenuService service = (IMenuService)
getSite().getService(IMenuService.class);
service.populateContributionManager(toolbarManager, "section:foo");
