It was modified in 3.4 to integrate with menu contributions as well as
the other show in sources.

What if you change those 2 lines to:
ShowInMenu showInMenu = new ShowInMenu();
showInMenu.setId("showIn");
showInMenu.initialize(getDiagram().getDiagramEditor().getSit e().getWorkbenchWindow());

which is how it is used in 3.4 in
org.eclipse.ui.actions.ContributionItemFactory.VIEWS_SHOW_IN

Does that help?
