Hi,

I want to add a menu to my minimal e4 application but the menu is not displayed.

I compared with the contact demo (which I also reduced for this purpose) but I cannot see any difference.

The Application.xmi is like the following.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ASCII"?>
<application:Application xmi:version="2.0" xmlns:xmi="http://www.omg.org/XMI" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:application="http://www.eclipse.org/ui/2008/UIModel" id="Application">
<children xsi:type="application:Window" label="My first e4 application" iconURI="" tooltip="" id="Window" onTop="true" width="200" height="200">
<children xsi:type="application:Part" id="View1" style="" URI=" platform:/plugin/de.vogella.e4.rcp.first/de.vogella.e4.rcp.f irst.parts.View1 " containerData="" label="Hallo" tooltip=""/>
<children xsi:type="application:Menu" id="">
<children xsi:type="application:MenuItem" id="" label="File">
<children xsi:type="application:DirectMenuItem" URI=" platform:/plugin/de.vogella.e4.rcp.first/de.vogella.e4.rcp.f irst.handlers.ExitHandler " label="Exit"/>
</children>
</children>
</children>
</application:Application>

Advice would be welcome.

Best regards, Lars

Have you used the e4 Wizard to create an e4 application project? If you use
it, you will not run into this problem.

The problem is the menu is created in children. It should be mainMenu.
<mainMenu>
<children xsi:type="application:MenuItem" label="File">
</children>
</mainMenu>

I suppose you have created using EMF Reflective Editor.
