I want to add my own sub menu option under the help menu of Eclipse SDK. Which file has the menu and submenu details.
Assuming that you want to extend Eclipse with a new plug-in, when you create a new "Plug-in Project" in Eclipse, this new project contains a file named plugin.xml.
This file can be used to define the extensions that the plug-in will add to Eclipse.
More information on this can be found in the following references:
Introduction to Eclipse Plugin Development
Extending Eclipse - Plug-in Development Tutorial
Contributing Actions to the Eclipse Workbench
Regarding the menus themselves and their possible extensions, you can read the Eclipse documentation here.
I hope this helps.

Got Eclipse RCP Plug-in Developer Resources installed.
Created an Eclipse RCP plugin project. Added org.eclipse.ui.views extention and tried to add a view. Only generic options is available. I guess the schema cannot be found. How can I point to it?
thanks in advance,
Lukasz
Are you looking in the right place. Right click on org.eclipse.ui.views in the extensions tab to get the context menu. The top item should be New with a sub-menu for the extension point types.
I downloaded the eclipse language pack from the following site:
http://download.eclipse.org/technology/babel/babel_language_packs/R0.10.1/indigo/indigo.php
I put the downloaded plugins in the plugin folder of my eclipse installation.
My question: How do I use these plugins with my eclipse RCP application now?
I seem to be unable to add them to my application because I can select them no where. I also tried to drop them into the plugin folder of my RCP application after I exported the application and adding the plugin names to the config.ini but I had no success.
I'd appreciate any help on this topic since I'm stuck :(
Since 3.6 or so, Eclipse doesn't try to find additional plugins in the plugins folder; it will only consider what has been installed with p2 (i.e. via the "Install New Software" menu or the marketplace).
There should be a dropins folder next to the plugins folder; put the language packs in there and Eclipse should automatically pick them up.
See the documentation for details.
I am developing a plug-in for eclipse for JSHOP2 language. For that i made a plug-in project with 'editor'. I have written the code for the neceessary syntax highlighting for JSHOP2 but I don't know how to integrate this types of plug-in with eclipse and then how to take use of it, so that while i write the JSHOP2 code the necessary syntax gets highlighted. Please help me with this.
So you have an editor that works correctly?
Then you need to make sure the files with your extension are opened with your editor. That is described in the Eclipse wiki.
To make sure your plugin is integrated to your version of Eclipse, either create an update site and import the plugin as you would do with any other plugin. Or export the plugin to a jar and copy the jar to the dropins catalog.
Since you are using eclipse to write java code (plug-in project). Create a new eclipse launch configuration. Menu Run -> Run Configuration. Location eclipse application. Right click -> Create new & Run. Hope this helps.
File > New > Other , but its not there. =(. I only see General, CVS, Java, Tasks, XML and Examples.
Do I need to install anything else to get the Plugin Project so I can use the wizard?
Thanks, I was planning to write some sweet plugins but I am stuck.
You need to install the right package of Eclipse.
The RCP edition should give you what you are looking for.
See the RCP tutorial for illustration.
You can also update your existing Helios Eclipse, by Installing "General Purpose Tools" -> "Eclipse Plug-in Development Environment" and "Eclipse RCP Plug-in Developer Resources" from the Helios update site.

After that, you should see the right menu in File-> New Project:
