typeproperty 
public var type:String

Specifies the type of this menu item.

Meaningful values are action, separator. It is not necessary to specify a value for type when defining a sub menu

action specifies the unique identifier of an action to appear at the corresponding location in the data provider.

separator specifies that a separator should be shown at the corresponding position in the data provider.

uidproperty 
public var uid:String

Unique identifier for this action menu item.

If the type of this item is action, the uid should be set to the uid of an action, as indicated by its ActionSpec. The menu will attempt to substitute this menu item with that action.

Examples
The following plugin manifest code declares a custom menu for Virtual Machines containing 3 actions: the first 2 are in a Configuration submenu. The last one appears after a separator.
