You can NOT remove the menuitems.  You must instead get the 'build' team 
to support RCP by not forcing their menus in whenever there is a menu.

One way to possibly remove them is to rename the menu ids which plugins 
look for to insert their items.  If they dont see the ids they wont 
insert their menuitems.  when you create your Application class you 
should be able to do this there.

The plugins will complain about the missing items though.
