[news.eclipse.platform] Re: Pulldown toolbar contributions for editors.

[Mircea Luchian <mluchian@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I came with the same problem. Consolidating actions with a pulldown and 
enabeling it for a specific editor is impossible. The "pulldown" style 
for an editor action does not exist. This would be a nice to have 
feature in a future version of Eclipse (3.4, 4.0). What do you think?

Thanks,

Mircea
