[news.eclipse.platform.rcp] Re: How to enable Window menu/functionality

[Nils Meyer <nils.meyer@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm having a similar problem to Martin's. I got the thing work with the 
menuitems but now I'm stuck with the toolbar. How can I easily add the 
standard stuff like new, save and so on there? Is there perhaps a way to 
get all the actions a editor usually reacts on (save, save as, save all, 
close, close all) to the menu and toolbar in one step?

Thanks
Nils
