Description Jeeeyul Lee CLA 2013-07-17 21:09:31 EDT 
org.eclipse.ui.internal.menus.MenuAdditionCacheEntry.processToolbarChildren(ArrayList<MToolBarContribution>, IConfigurationElement, String, String) handles only command, separator, control contribution.

It should have to support dynamic contribution also.

That's by design (3.7 workbench ignores dynamic elements in a toolbar menuContribution).

There are no start/stop events provide by the toolbar to allow updating it dynamically, and because it can re-layout everything associated with it (a huge hiccup) no one has looked at this.

Perhaps someone can look at an approach now.

Paul's comment was in July last year, is there any plan to address this?

No, it's still marked help wanted.
