Hi,

I'm writing a simple plugin for Eclipse 3.3.1.1, which is using commands
for workbench extension instead of actionSet. I created a plug-in
project using "Hello, World Command" template. Here is the snippet
from plugin.xml defining toolbar item:

<menuContribution

locationURI="toolbar:org.eclipse.ui.main.toolbar?after=additions ">
<toolbar
id="MyPlugin.toolbars.sampleToolbar">
<command
commandId="MyPlugin.commands.sampleCommand"
icon="icons/sample.gif"
tooltip="Say hello world"
id="MyPlugin.toolbars.sampleCommand">
</command>
</toolbar>
</menuContribution>

According to documentation 'locationURI' defines position of toolbar
button.
However, I'm not able to change this position. For example, if I replace
'additions' with 'group.file' or 'group.help' the button shows up on the
left
side of the toolbar.
Any hints?

Greetings,

Marko
