I'm trying to add the Insert menu to povclipse2.
Dynamic menus are quite the pita.  Three days in, and I've made little 
progress.  (I have the "Insert" in the top menu, but no content).
Everything is deprecated, and there are zero, nada, zilch, working 
examples of how to build a menu.
Even the official eclipse docs for mars use deprecated examples! 
(They've never been updated)

I found one 2014 example that looked oh so promising, except his command 
derives from a base class of CompoundContributionItem (and returns a 
ContributionItem[], exactly what I want!)  except eclipse says "fail! 
Must derive from ExtensionContributionFactory"  which is not related at all.

+1 for eclipse today.
Specifically the token substitution.
I have a pile of widgets named btnInput, txtInput, txtBlah
and I couldn't remember txtLanguageVersion.
So I type txtV <ctrl-space> and it substituted txtLanguageVersion out of 
that.  Pretty damn slick.
