| <P><B><I>Description: </I></B>This extension point is used to register action definitions. Accelerators |
| (see the Accelerator Sets extension point) use action defintions to reference actions. An action associates |
| itself with a given accelerator by registering with that accelerator's associated action definition. |
| An action registers itself with an action definition by calling the setActionDefinitionId(String id) method and |
| supplying the action definition's id as an argument. |

| <BR><TT> </extension></TT> |
| <P><B><I>API Information: </I></B>The methods public void setActionDefinitionId(String id) and |
| public String getActionDefinitionId() have been added to <TT>IAction</TT>. |
