In Eclipse 3.8, my code can call toolbar.update(). Then, ToolBarManger will eventually invokes WorkbenchWindowControlContribution.
createControl(). At that point, I can create a different set of controls to the toolbar. It does not seems that the <control> tag can provide this capability.

Thanks! I have opened a bug for it. In my case, I need to use the <dynamic> tag because I need to update the toolbar
with different controls depending on the state of certain features in our application.
I'm not sure how dynamic helps you there. It just places your contribution item in a ToolBarManager.
control will do the same thing, plus initialize it properly to boot.
ToolBarManager doesn't implement a dynamic protocol similar to MenuManager.
