This is something that's only supported using the compatibility layer
... but that will drag in the entire legacy workbench (ui,
ui.workbench, ui.ide, etc).
It is as you say ... it's ahead of what we've included in pure e4. We
do plan to support a number of the standard declarative extension
points in pure e4 apps (org.eclipse.ui.commands being one of them :-)
but we're just not there yet. We've had to focus on Galileo SR1 and
3.6M2 first.
Later,
