* Once this has been done the workbench will automatically insert any action

* A menu id must be provided for each registered menu. For consistency across
* parts the following strategy should be adopted by all part implementors.

* <ol>
* <li>If the target part has only one context menu it should be registered
* with <code>id == part id</code>. This can be done easily by calling
* <code>registerContextMenu(MenuManager, ISelectionProvider).
* <li>If the target part has more than one context menu a unique id should be
* defined for each. Prefix each menu id with the part id and publish these
* ids within the javadoc for the target part. Register each menu at
* runtime by calling <code>registerContextMenu(String, MenuManager,
* ISelectionProvider)</code>. </li>
* </ol>
* <p>
* Any pop-up menu which is registered with the workbench should also define a
* <code>GroupMarker</code> in the registered menu with id
* <code>IWorkbenchActionConstants.MB_ADDITIONS</code>. Other plug-ins will use this
* group as a reference point for insertion. The marker should be defined at an
* appropriate location within the menu for insertion.
