Action sets are not extensible, as I recently learned. See this message
and the rest of the thread it is part of:
http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.platform/msg76 240.html
Hope this helps,

If you get things to work the way you want them, please consider putting
together an article or brief description and example. I find that the
documentation and existing examples of this stuff are scarce.
I'm particularly interested in having a common toolbar that is defined
by one plugin but contributed to by others. I tried a simple example of
that but couldn't get it to work and had to move on to other things for
the time being.
