Eclipse RCP menus & actions: Configure or code?

Question

This is a general question but my current problem revolves around menu handling.

In a normal plugin with contributes menu actions you would configure ActionSets etc

Answer 1

If you are writing the RCP application, the good practice is to create the place holders in your ActionBarAdvisor. While that would define the basic structure of your menus and toolbars, you can extend menuContributions and using commands to contribute the actual menu/tool items.
