| <p>Provides a set of classes for defining <i>Actions</i> which are run |
| in order to carry out application behaviour that the user has requested |
| through the user-interface. Two types of actions are supported, namely <i>plugin-in</i> |
| actions, and <i>retargetable</i> (or global) actions. Both kinds of |
| actions are eligible to be repeated through the {@link |
| org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.common.ui.action.ActionManager}.</p> |
| |
| <p>The <i>plugin-in</i> actions can be contributed using the extension |
| points provided by the Eclipse platform, namely: |
| <ul> |
| <li>org.eclipse.ui.actionsSets</li> |
| <li>org.eclipse.ui.editorActions</li> |
| <li>org.eclipse.ui.popupMenus</li> |
| <li>org.eclipse.ui.viewActions</li> |
| </ul> |
| The behaviour of these action extensions is defined in an |
| <i>action delegate</i> |
| . Modeling platform |
| <i>plugin-in</i> |
| action implementations should subclass the {@link |
| org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.common.ui.action.AbstractActionDelegate} class |
| in this package and implement the interface(s) appropriate to the |
| Eclipse platform extension point(s) being used. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p>The <i>retargetable</i> (or global) actions can be contributed using |
| the extension points provided by the Eclipse platform, namely: |
| <ul> |
| <li>org.eclipse.ui.actionSets</li> |
| <li>org.eclipse.ui.editors</li> |
| </ul> |
| The behaviour of these action extensions is defined in an |
| <i>action handler</i> |
| . Modeling platform |
| <i>retargetable</i> |
| action implementations should subclass the {@link |
| org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.common.ui.action.AbstractActionHandler} class in |
| this package. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p>Modeling platform actions are run through an instance of the {@link |
| org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.common.ui.action.ActionManager} class. The |
| action manager will keep track of the last action that was run that is |
| eligible to be repeated.</p> |
