Customize the Main Menu [message #464148]

I'm working on an RCP application that for branding/customization
purposes we would like use a different control with a unique look and
feel for the main menu bar. Is there any way with version 3.3M5 to do this?

Alternatively is there a way to read out all of the
actions/contributions to main menu? That way i can use those values to
populate the separate control we are using.

no, that main menu bar is built by the system. It's the
MenuManager#fill(*) that determines what widgets are created.

Actually, in 3.3M6 you can populate your own MenuManager with the new
main menu contributions, but it won't pick up the legacy actions ...
hopefully we'll get actionSet support into 3.3

If you provide your own menu manager that would control the top-level
menu ... but sub-menus are just created as MenuManagers, so they support
the fill(Menu, index) method.
