[Nick Edgar <Nick_Edgar@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Dani,

Which action are we talking about?

An action set can add an action to:
1. menus or toolbars defined by the application
2. menus or toolbars defined by the action set itself (each action set has 
an implicitly defined toolbar, and can define its own menus with the 
<menu> element)
3. the toolbar of some other action set (e.g. JDT UI's Open Type action 
gets added to the Search toolbar)

In your example below, the Navigate menu and the history group are defined 
by the IDE (case 1).

Action sets can't add to menus, toolbars, or groups defined 
programmatically by editors.  However, since action sets can be associated 
with workbench parts, you may be able to make use of case 3.  That is, 
define the editor's actions as an action set associated with the editor, 
then define the JDT UI action to put its action in the editor's action 
set's toolbar.

[platform-ui-dev] How can I add an action to an another plug-in's tool bar 
path?










Hi,

   org.eclipse.jdt.ui/plugin.xml contributes an action (which is part of 
an
   action set) to the main tool bar. I would like to put it into the same
   group as already declared by another plug-in
   (org.eclipse.ui.workbench.texteditor) but this seems not to work via 
XML
   and I could not find API which would allow me to add a group to the 
main
   tool bar. However, I know that it is possible since two different
   plug-ins contribute to the navigation history tool bar group
   (toolbarPath="org.eclipse.ui.workbench.navigate/history.group").
