Try using the programmatic solution in your ApplicationActionBarAdvisor  class as following :

public class ApplicationActionBarAdvisor extends ActionBarAdvisor {

    private IWorkbenchAction resetPerspectiveAction;

    @Override
    protected void makeActions(IWorkbenchWindow window) { 
        // ...
        // create and register the actions
        resetPerspectiveAction = ActionFactory.RESET_PERSPECTIVE.create(window);
        register(resetPerspectiveAction);
        // ...
    }

    @Override
    protected void fillMenuBar(IMenuManager menuBar) {
        // ...
        // create and fill the window menu
        MenuManager windowMenu = new MenuManager("&Window", WorkbenchActionConstants.M_WINDOW);
        menuBar.add(windowMenu);
        windowMenu.add(resetPerspectiveAction);
        // ...
     }
}
