Can I programmatically add actions to menu from plugin? [message #448301]

I have an existing Swing application that builds panels based on class and
property information stored in XML. As a bridge to a full migration to
Eclipse/SWT, I want to create a wrapper view and a wrapper action that I can
wrap my current panel/actions in and add the actions to the menu bar.

I'd want to add the actions during the start(BundleContext context) method
of my plugins class.

Is this a 'no-no' or is there a valid way of accomplishing this? I can't
seem to find a reference to the ActionBarAdvisor where I would think such a
change should be done.

Thanks,
Mike

When you're in a view, you can use getSite().getActionBars() to get the
IActionBars. From there you can get the menu manager to add actions to
eclipse.
