I'm looking for the best method of forcing the coolbar to update/refresh
to include my newly added AbstractContributionFactory's contributions.

right now i'm doing this and it feels hacky:

coolBarManager.removeAll();

menuService.populateContributionManager(
coolBarManager,
MenuUtil.MAIN_TOOLBAR );

Gack! I nearly dropped my coffee :-) That will only cause sadness,
unfortunately.

Having an programmatic ACF added to existing ContributionManagers that
were populated isn't supported until 3.4.

I'm not sure how to tackle that in 3.3

In 3.4 we keep a list of ManagerPopulationRecords, so when another ACF
is added
org.eclipse.ui.internal.menus.WorkbenchMenuService.addContri butionFactory(AbstractContributionFactory)
knows to "install" it immediately.

In 3.3 you would somehow have to take your ACF and call into
org.eclipse.ui.internal.menus.WorkbenchMenuService.processAd ditions(IServiceLocator,
Expression, ContributionManager, AbstractContributionFactory, Set) to
get it added in a "timely" manner, but that's a private method (the best
you can do in 3.3 is via reflection).

The other (totally non-portable and wacky) suggestion would be to run
some similar code from within that method, you need a ContributionRoot
and then you could fill it in yourself (having already "illegally"
obtained the CoolBarManager :-)
