                                       java.lang.String[] pMenuesToGlue)

Create tool bars from an action list. In comparison to ToolbarBuilder it is possible to assign an own group name to change the menues name. To do so, you have to add the name in front of the list, seperated by a colon. This name is also used to identify the corresponding resource entry.

Parameters:

pHandler - ActionHandler which contains the actions

pMenuesToGlue - List containing the group names of the menues to put together. To glue bars a,b, and d,e, the array contents has to look like {"a,b,c", "d,e"}. To assign a different group name, use {"myGroupname;a,b,c"}

Returns:

Collection containing the created tool bars. If the list is null or does not contain any action, an empty list is returned.
