Currently the Team actions (where one would provide ones own team provider actions) are defined using org.eclipse.ui.popupMenus. If a team provider wishes to contribute to that using org.eclipse.ui.menus he is forced to redefine the exact menu structure in his provisioning plugin, otherwise his contributions will not show up or the order of the existing contributions gets wild (if not the entire structure is redefined). For example like in the excerpt from plugin.xml at the bottom of the message. This has two issues: 

1. The exact order may play a role. Also, this might break, if the Team plugin changes its definition in future versions.

2. Another team provider might do the same redefinitions. This may lead to undesired behaviour as well.

Therefore I am asking to convert the existing popupMenus to org.eclipse.ui.menus. If you want to avoid converting actions to handlers, it possibly might be sufficient just to add the contributions below. This at least would give team provider implementors an easy path to using handlers.

Regards
Richard
