Toolbar contributions from a plugin in a RCP Application [message #449788]

I'm developping an application using RCP and I'm building a plugin that will contribute to that RCP Application UI.

I have been able to add a new menus or new toolbar actions in views but I haven't been able to add new actions to the main Editor Toolbar of the RCP Application.

I think there might be a problem with the contribution ID of the EditorContribution.

If someone got an idea...

Thanks

Hmmm ... I think there are 2 ways to get actions into the main toolbar.

org.eclipse.ui.actionSets and org.eclipse.ui.editorActions.

what exactly did you do that you would expect something to show up in
the main toolbar? If you're using org.eclipse.ui.popupMenus, that only
adds to context menus AFAIK.

I'm setting up an extension point(org.eclipse.ui.editorActions), then adding an editor contribution and then an action definition

Here's the code :

<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.editorActions">
<editorContribution
id="org.safehaus.ldapstudio.schemas"
targetID="org.safehaus.ldapstudio.DefaultTextEditor">
<action
class="org.safehaus.ldapstudio.controller.actions.SaveAction "
icon="ressources/icons/save.gif"
id="org.safehaus.ldapstudio.SaveAction"
label="Save"
toolbarPath="main"
tooltip="Save"/>
</editorContribution>
</extension>

Thanks for your help.

is "main" a valid toolbar path? What happens when you use
toolbarPath="additions"?

oh, is your directory really spelled "ressources"?
