Problem with contributing to Eclipse Search menu [message #68080]

I am trying to make contribution to Eclipse Search menu, but my
command/menu item doesn't show in the Search menu. I use locationURI
menu:org.eclipse.search.menu?after=fileSearchConte xtMenuActionsGroup (or
after=additions), but item doesn't show in the Search menu.

If I move the command reference to my menu or to any other Eclipse menu
like menu:project, the menu item appears.

I do have org.eclipse.search in Dependencies.

Here is snippet from plugin.xml:

<menuContribution
locationURI="menu:org.eclipse.search.menu?after=fi
leSearchContextMenuActionsGroup">
<command
commandId="my.ui.plugin.commands.searchInScanResul tsCommand"
icon="icons/swirl.gif"
id="my.ui.plugin.menus.searchInScanResultsCommand "
mnemonic="R"
style="push">
</command>
</menuContribution>

I would appreciate any help. Thanks, Lubos

I even tried to create test plugin from template "Hello World Command" and
just added org.eclipse.search dependency and following as
org.eclipse.ui.menu menuContribution with locationURI
menu:org.eclipse.search.menu?after=fileSearchContextMenuActi onsGroup

But nothing appears in Search menu.

<menuContribution

locationURI=" menu:org.eclipse.search.menu?after=fileSearchContextMenuActi onsGroup ">
<menu
id="test.plugin.menus.sampleMenu"
label="Sample Menu"
mnemonic="M">
<command
commandId="test.plugin.commands.sampleCommand"
id="test.plugin.menus.sampleCommand"
mnemonic="S">
</command>
</menu>
</menuContribution>

After looking at org.eclipse.search source code, Eclipse Search menu
(org.eclipse.search.menu) doesn't support Command contributions, so you
cannot use org.eclipse.ui.menus extension point to make Search menu
contribution. You have to use action sets and org.eclipse.ui.actionSets
extension point and use menubarPath org.eclipse.search.menu/dialogGroup
(for example) for your action.

Hi Lubos,

I tried using a sample actionSet (extension point="org.eclipse.ui.actionSets") with an action on menubarPath="org.eclipse.search.menu/dialogGroup" as you suggested - to no avail.

I wonder why JDT works as it works. The "tutorial" at http://wiki.eclipse.org/Menu_Contributions/Search_Menu is not really helpful.

I am desperate. :-/

Cheers,
Christoph

What actually *does* work is redefining the whole Search Menu as in the workaround that is still currently used in JDT 3.6:

   <extension
         point="org.eclipse.ui.actionSets">
      <actionSet
            label="%JavaSearchActionSet.label"
            description="%JavaSearchActionSet.description"
            visible="false"
            id="org.eclipse.jdt.ui.SearchActionSet">
<!-- see http://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=15684    -->
<!-- Note: The menu (re-) definition has to be here due to bug: -->
<!-- =================================================================== -->
<!-- Search Menu                                                         -->
<!-- =================================================================== -->
         <menu
               label="%searchMenu.label"
               path="navigate"
               id="org.eclipse.search.menu">
				<groupMarker name="internalDialogGroup"/>   <!-- not to be used by clients  -->
				<groupMarker name="dialogGroup"/>           <!-- to be used by clients      -->
				<separator name="fileSearchContextMenuActionsGroup"/> <!-- to be used by clients      -->
	         	<separator name="contextMenuActionsGroup"/> <!-- to be used by clients -->
	         	<separator name="occurencesActionsGroup"/> <!-- to be used by clients -->
	         	<separator name="extraSearchGroup"/> <!-- to be used by clients -->
         </menu>
<!-- (...) -->

It seems like the 8-year-old bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=15684 is still not really solved.
