Hello,

I have a DynamicMenuContribution item defined in the Application.e4xmi to implement a MRU list.
During development it worked nicely.

@AboutToShow
public void aboutToShow(List<MMenuElement> items, EModelService modelService) {
	final String[] mruArray = getMRUArray(preferences);
	if (mruArray == null) {
		return;
	}
	for (String mruItem : mruArray) {
		MDirectMenuItem dynamicItem = modelService
				.createModelElement(MDirectMenuItem.class);
		dynamicItem.setLabel(new File(mruItem).getName());
		dynamicItem.setContributorURI("platform:/plugin/myapp");
		dynamicItem.setContributionURI("bundleclass://myapp/myapp.handlers.OpenHandler");
		dynamicItem.setContainerData(mruItem);
		items.add(dynamicItem);
	}
	if (mruArray.length > 0) {
		items.add(modelService.createModelElement(MMenuSeparator.class));
	}
}


After I removed the clearPersistedState flag, the MRU list became persistent, and each time I restart my application, the old entries are kept and the new ones are added. And the list becomes larger and larger.

When I check the workbench.xmi file (in .metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.e4.workbench/ ) it indeed shows all MRU menu entries.

I would have thought that the dynamic menu items are not stored between sessions? Or am I wrong? Or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,
Maarten

This issue had apparently been fixed in 4.3 (see https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=405471) but seems to have revived from the ashes in 4.4 - I am experiencing the problem with these features in my target platform:

Eclipse e4 Rich Client Platform 1.3.0.v20130918-1640
Eclipse RCP 4.4.0.v20130918-2000

The code mentioned in the bug report (http://git.eclipse.org/c/platform/eclipse.platform.ui.git/commit/?id=3a4f5ff85b6b22a0cc0840ff539a4d0219f10b0c) is different from this release. Is it possible that the old problem was reintroduced during refactoring?
