Tooltips in Eclipse RCP window toolbar menus

I created a window with a toolbar with menus. Now I want menu items to have tooltips, and I did not succeed.

I'm on Ubuntu 12.04.

What I've already tryed:

  1. Set the 'tooltip' for menu contribution in plugin.xml

  2. Set the 'description' for the command

  3. Setup tooltip text in the actions in submenus that I create programmatically using ManuManager and Action.

Regards, Vladimir

According to the description of the popupMenus extension point tooltips are only shown when the action is part of a toolbar. There exists an Eclipse Bug considering this problem.
