In this example I'll be adding a menu to an RCP application checked out from Simple Sample from RCP Course Repository

  • Start Eclipse and check out the example from our course's SVN repository.
  • Run the example and you should get something like this:

  • We'll now create a command (Exit) which we will later add to the menu (File) that we have yet to create.
  • Start by double clicking plugin.xml in the Package window. This will bring the plugin.xml file into the edit window.
  • Now click on the Extensions tab. You should see this:
