This guide shows how to customise toolbars programmatically based on the current perspective, and hints that the solution for menus is very similar.

Also, the code for the UI in your screenshot is available here, and might contain some useful hints at how to do it.

I'll just add that as Eclipse moves to 4.2, this is less likely to work. – Rechabite

Oh, how come? We've not moved our project up to 4.2 so far, and I'm curious to know about things which might give us trouble. – Shrink

WorkbenchWindow doesn't offer the same access in 4.2 as it does in 3.x. In 3.x it uses the window MenuManager, in 4.2 it uses a completely different rendering story. – Rechabite
