Re: [SWTBot-users] How can IDs be set for toolbar and menubar widgets?

[Ketan P. <ket...@gm...>]

All widgets have the setData method available on it. So it would be  
possible to set this value on MenuItems and ToolItems.

You are correct about setting widget IDs for contributions in eclipse.  
The MenuManager and other ContributionItems contain #fill() methods  
that are invoked on them. You could do something there, if need be.

Asking this question on the eclipse.platform.rcp newsgroup may get you  
a better answer.
