Hi Andrea,

Have a look at the UDIGMenuBuilder:
http://svn.geotools.org/udig/trunk/plugins/net.refractions.udig.ui/src/net/refractions/udig/ui/UDIGMenuBuilder.java

I don't have a usable uDig development environment at the moment, so I can't assist more than that. In a couple weeks I will be fixing a couple bugs, and I could definitely hack on the API then. Jesse might also have some suggetions.
