You should *not* use the configuration API in order to change the text of the menu item (a single change will cause the whole menubar to be updated, and this is rather inefficient). The text of the menu items can be changed at runtime by sending a status update where the css.frame.FeatureStateEvent.State holds the string with the new menu item text. How does it work? The menu item is controlled in the application framework by an object that listens for status updates at the dispatch object you return in your ProtocolHandler implementation. For this to work, you may need to modify your implementation of the ProtocolHandler; usually, in most examples, like the ones on the SDK [1], the dispatch provider and the dispatch object are implemented in the same class and status listeners are not tracked.
