How to add menus with SWT Designer?

[P38]

We have a JFace ApplicationWindow in a standalone SWT/JFace app designed with SWT Designer.

We have a top level menu that appears OK. It is generated by this code:

Code: Select all

@Override
   protected MenuManager createMenuManager() {
      MenuManager topLevelMenuManager = new MenuManager();

      MenuManager fileMenu = new MenuManager("&File");
      topLevelMenuManager.add(fileMenu);

      MenuManager editMenu = new MenuManager("&Edit");
      topLevelMenuManager.add(editMenu);

      MenuManager helpMenu = new MenuManager("&Help");
      topLevelMenuManager.add(helpMenu);

      return topLevelMenuManager;
   }


How do we add menu items to this?

All menus in a JFace App Windows are Actions, so use the JFace Actions palette. This is described in the docs...
