ActionBarContributor vs org.eclipse.ui.popupMenus [message #245306]

Is there any strategy in GEF about the org.eclipse.ui.popupMenus extension
point vs. using an ActionBarContributor? I would prefer to use the extension
point, but there are some issues with that:
- The GEF actions are not IObjectActionDelegates and don't have empty
constructors, so I would have to write my own.
- I currently use EditPolicy.understandsRequest() to determine if an action
should be displayed for an EditPart; this would not be possible any more.
- It is not easy to retarget JDT actions.

Are there any guidelines or GEF examples for using the extension point?
