Render UI using React inside Menu Page

Hello.

This is actually more a question rather than a bug report. What I'm currently trying to do is rendering React Components inside the menubar's page. To achieve this I'm using electron, react and webpack.

However, when I bundle my application with webpack and try to run the build via electron neither the menubar's constructor nor any of its EventEmitters are getting called - which ends up with having my 'electron' application running, but without any additional icon in my menu bar.

Below is my current webpack.config.js - any help is really appreciated.

const path = require('path');
const webpack = require('webpack');
const buildPath = path.resolve(__dirname, 'build');
const nodeModulesPath = path.resolve(__dirname, 'node_modules');
const TransferWebpackPlugin = require('transfer-webpack-plugin');
const WriteFilePlugin = require('write-file-webpack-plugin');

const config = {

    // This is the setting for electron.
    target: "electron",

    // This enables the creation of source maps,
    // which improve the debuggability of the application
    // by allowing you to see where an error was raised.
    devtool: "source-map",

    // Entry file to startsbuilding from.
    // entry.jsx is the renderer process,
    // main.js is for the main process.
    // Electron will be pointed at the main bundle,
    // while the Renderer will point to entry bundle.
    entry: {
        'app': './renderer/app.jsx',
        'index': './index.js'
    },

    // Location and filename pattern of the
    // final build output files.
    output: {
        path: path.join(__dirname, 'build'),
        filename: "[name].bundle.js"
    },

    devServer: {
        outputPath: path.join(__dirname, 'build'),
        inline: false
    },

        preLoaders: [
            // Performs linting on code for quality checks
            {

                include: path.resolve(__dirname, "renderer"),

                    'sass' // sass-loader for sass compilation
                ]
            },
            {

                loader: 'json-loader'
            }
        ]
    },

    eslint: {
        configFile: '.eslintrc'
    },

    plugins: [
        new webpack.HotModuleReplacementPlugin(),
