 * The abstract superclass for actions that listen to page activation and
 * open/close events. This implementation tracks the active page (see 
 * <code>getActivePage</code>) and provides a convenient place to monitor
 * page lifecycle events that could affect the availability of the action.
 * <p>
 * Subclasses must implement the following <code>IAction</code> method:
 * <ul>
 *   <li><code>run</code> - to do the action's work</li>
 * </ul>
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Subclasses may extend any of the <code>IPartListener</code> methods if the
 * action availablity needs to be recalculated:
 * <ul>
 *   <li><code>partActivated</code></li> 
 *   <li><code>partDeactivated</code></li>
 *   <li><code>partOpened</code></li>
 *   <li><code>partClosed</code></li>
 *   <li><code>partBroughtToTop</code></li>
 * </ul>
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Subclasses may extend any of the <code>IPageListener</code> methods if the
 * action availablity needs to be recalculated:
 * <ul>
 *   <li><code>pageActivated</code></li> 
 *   <li><code>pageClosed</code></li>
 *   <li><code>pageOpened</code></li>
