#How to create a custom group of actions?
If some part of the functionality requires to implement several actions or actions are simply too many and overload the menu
they can be joined into groups. In this case the group will be available as a top-level menu item, action will be represented as drop-down menu items.
Grouping can be done by placing <group> attribute into
[plugin.xml] (https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-sdk/blob/master/code_samples/plugin_sample/META-INF/plugin.xml)
file.
<!-- The <group> element defines an action group. <action>, <group> and <separator> elements defined within it are automatically included in the group.
The mandatory "id" attribute specifies an unique identifier for the action.
The optional "class" attribute specifies the full-qualified name of the class implementing the group. If not specified,
com.intellij.openapi.actionSystem.DefaultActionGroup is used.
The optional "text" attribute specifies the text of the group (text for the menu item showing the submenu).
The optional "description" attribute specifies the text which is displayed in the status bar when the group is focused.
The optional "icon" attribute specifies the icon which is displayed on the toolbar button or next to the group.
The optional "popup" attribute specifies how the group is presented in the menu. If a group has popup="true", actions in it
are placed in a submenu; for popup="false", actions are displayed as a section of the same menu delimited by separators. -->
<group class="org.jetbrains.plugins.sample.DummyActionGroup" id="DummyActionGroup" text="Action Group"
description="Illustration of an action group"
icon="icons/testgroup.png" popup="true">
<action id="PluginSample.GroupedAction" class="org.jetbrains.plugins.sample.GroupedAction"
text="Grouped Action" description="An action in the group"/>
<!-- The <separator> element defines a separator between actions. It can also have an <add-to-group> child element. -->
<separator/>
<group id="ActionSubGroup"/>
<!-- The <reference> element allows to add an existing action to the group. The mandatory "ref" attribute specifies the ID of the action to add. -->
<reference ref="EditorCopy"/>
<add-to-group group-id="MainMenu" relative-to-action="HelpMenu" anchor="before"/>
</group>
Class
[DummyActionGroup] (https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-sdk/blob/master/code_samples/plugin_sample/src/org/jetbrains/plugins/sample/DummyActionGroup.java)
should be
derived from [ActionGroup] (https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community/blob/master/platform/editor-ui-api/src/com/intellij/openapi/actionSystem/ActionGroup.java)
and its
[getChildren()](https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-sdk/blob/master/code_samples/plugin_sample/src/org/jetbrains/plugins/sample/DummyActionGroup.java)
method should return an
array of
[actions] (https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-sdk/blob/master/code_samples/plugin_sample/src/org/jetbrains/plugins/sample/GroupedAction.java)
belonging to this group.
