This is on the list of features for 1.1 but for 1.0.x you will have to
do some hacking.
(This is pseudocode so it will take some tweaking)
1. Define your tool as not on Toolbar. This will allow you tool get the
ToolProxy from the ToolManager but it won't be on the toolbar.
2. When you want to add the tool you have to get the ToolManager:
ProjectUIPlugin.getDefault().getToolManager.getTool(). This returns an
action you can add to the Toolbar.
3. Add the tool to the toolbar by getting the MapEditor's
EditorSite.getActionBars().getCoolbar().add(tool).
4. The MapEditor editor site can be obtained by:
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActivePage().getActiveEditor().getEditorSite()
(Assuming the editor is the active editor).
Hope this helps.

Hello all,
I would like to add new tool buttons in the toolbar at runtime. The
addition of the button is started by an external event. This event
contains information for the GUI (an icon and a label) and information
about what has to be done when the button is pressed. I don't know at
startup how many buttons (and when) have to be integrated.
Is there a way to integrate tools during execution ?
Thanks in advance,
Vincent
