951300 - [tutorial] "Add a menu item to Firefox" refers to modules that don't exist

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Add-on SDK Graveyard :: Documentation, defect, P2)

Description

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/developers/docs/sdk/latest/dev-guide/tutorials/adding-menus.html refers to two libraries by Erik Vold, menuitems-jplib and vold-utils-jplib. It seems he removed both from his github account, https://github.com/erikvold?tab=repositories

We should probably just remove the tutorial, it'll need to be rewritten when we land bug 899434

I took a stab at fixing the links in
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/SDK/Tutorials/Add_a_Menu_Item_to_Firefox
based on https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=951300#c2
for those who stumble through the firefox add-ons ducumentation after me.

I ran through the tutorial with the packages you linked to, and it works great. Thanks!
