<p>Provides a set of classes for creating global actions for use with 
the Global Action Handler Service.</p>

<p>Global actions are action handlers for Eclipse <i>retargetable</i>
actions. The real action handler work is delegated to the {@link
org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.common.ui.services.action.global.IGlobalActionHandler}s
provided by the {@link
org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.common.ui.services.action.global.GlobalActionHandlerService}
for the active workbench part.</p>

<p>Modeling platform global action implementations should subclass the
{@link org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.common.ui.action.global.GlobalAction}
class in this package. Each global action has a {@link
org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.common.ui.action.global.GlobalActionId} by which
it can be identified in the <code>org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.common.ui.services.action.globalActionHandlerProviders</code>
extension point.</p>
