Can't anynone give me a hint? Is the following the right approach for
adding a command to an existing menu? Especially I want to add the
command as a menu entry in the "Generator" menu in the main menu.

Hi Gilbert,

i think that should work, I did the same way, maybe you forgot to
specify a Handler for your command. Have a look at the command extension
point where you specified the command, it should look like this:

<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.commands">
<command
defaultHandler=
"handlerClass"
description="a Command"
id="some.command.id"
name="CommandName">
</command>
</extension>

You should at least have a defaultHanlder specified in your command. The
class has to extend org.eclipse.core.commands.AbstractHandler.
