Re: [platform-ui-dev] What are the different groups under the team menu

[James_Moody@xxxxxxx]

In our case, it didn't matter in practice since the providers filter their 
actions on project nature.

However, we had a cursory look to see if we could add separators to an 
existing menu and it didn't look like we could. How do we do this?

for?


I'm confused and intrigued.  As a plugin developer, I would be hesitant to
add a menu item to a generic group like yours, because there is no way for
me to ensure that my actions, which may have a semantic grouping, are not
combined with actions which have a different semantic meaning.  Using a
menu extension, I can add new separators to an existing menu.  What
limitations are you encountering which make this infeasable for me?

That is the only purpose. The separators are created when the Team menu is
created (i.e. by the team.ui plug-in), therefore it's not possible for
other providers to add their own separators. So we create a bunch of
groups, without giving them any semantics, and providers may use them as
they wish. Note that since your actions will likely be filtered by project
nature, they won't conflict with action contributions from other
providers.

When you add your menu items to the context sensitive team menu in
Eclipse,
do the different groups you can put them into have any explicit meaning?
For example I can add all my menu items as follows:

                         menubarPath = "team.main/group1"

thus making them all together with no separators.  Or I can change a few
of
the group1 to group2 or 3 or 4...  Other than the line separator what is
the
purpose of these separate groups?
