I can add a group in "MainGroup" called sample using below code. But unable to
 add another group inside that. code added below. How can I add another group 
inside a group created by myself. 

<actions>
    <group id="sample" text="Sample" description="Sample desc">
        <add-to-group group-id="MainMenu" anchor="before" relative-to-action="HelpMenu"/>
    </group>
    <group id="sample.item" text="SampleItem" description="Sample Item">
        <add-to-group group-id="sample" anchor="first"/>
        <action id="sample.item.add" class="com.xxx.AddAction"
                text="Add" description="Sample Add">
            <add-to-group group-id="sample.item" anchor="first"/>
        </action>
        <action id="sample.item.repair" class="com.xxx.RepairAction"
                text="Repair" description="Sample Repair">
            <add-to-group group-id="sample.item" anchor="after" relative-to-action="sample.item.add"/>
        </action>
    </group>
</actions>

Please try this sample:

Note: 'popup="true"' is used here to provide "submenu" behavior. By default all actions from 'inner' group would be visually added to 'outer' group.

Hi, it works for a MainMenu but doesn't for the GenerateGroup for instance:

<group id="outer" text="Sample" description="Sample desc">
    <add-to-group group-id="GenerateGroup" anchor="last"/>
    <action id="a1" class="SampleAction1" text="A1"/>
    <action id="a2" class="SampleAction1" text="A2"/>
    <action id="b1" class="SampleAction2" text="B1"/>
    <separator/>
    <group id="inner" text="Inner" popup="true">
        <action class="SampleAction1" id="a3" text="A3"/>
        <action class="SampleAction2" id="a4" text="A4"/>
    </group>
</group>

How to make this code also works for context menu ?

Vassiliy, Yes it works in menus but not as I expected in context menu. All is flat : A1, A2, B1, A3, A4.

I would like for instance the same menu like this:

Constructor
toString()
Override
Test...
Copyright
A1 -> B1, B2
A2
A3
A4

B1 and B2 are submenu of A1. I do not succeed to make submenu in context menu.

Actually "Generate.." is not a context menu but cusom flat list converted from ActionGroup. Actions are copied from ActionGroup to this list recursively.

Thanks for the reply. So what I want to do is impossible in the GenerateGroup :(
