In `plugin.xml` for my application, I have

<extension
     point="org.eclipse.ui.menus">
  <menuContribution
        allPopups="false"
        locationURI="menu:org.eclipse.ui.main.menu">
     <menu
           id="ru.focusmedia.odp.arm.menus.arm"
           label="ARM"
           mnemonic="A">
        <command
              commandId="org.eclipse.ui.file.exit"
              style="push">
        </command>
     </menu>
     <menu
           id="ru.focusmedia.odp.arm.menus.arm"
           label="Help"
           mnemonic="H">
        <command
              commandId="org.eclipse.ui.help.aboutAction"
              style="push">
        </command>
     </menu>
  </menuContribution>
</extension>

and expect it to create two menus in the main menubar, each with one item. However, I get only one menu (ARM) which contains both items (and no Help menu at all). Why? And how do I get the desired result?

Change the id of your second menu to "ru.focusmedia.odp.arm.menus.help"
Because both menus had the same id only one menu with two entries were created.

Time is what you make of it.

Thanks! I was sure I entered different IDs in the "Extensions" editor tab originally, but apparently changed it along the way and didn't notice Embarrassed
