Class Summary

ActionContext	An ActionContext represents the context used to determine which actions are added by an ActionGroup, and what their enabled state should be.
ActionDelegate	Abstract base implementation of IActionDelegate.
ActionGroup	An ActionGroup represents a group of actions which are added to a context menu, or the action bars of a part, together.
AddBookmarkAction	Standard action for adding a bookmark to the currently selected file resource(s).
BuildAction	Standard actions for full and incremental builds of the selected project(s).
CloseResourceAction	Standard action for closing the currently selected project(s)
CopyFilesAndFoldersOperation	Perform the copy of file and folder resources from the clipboard when paste action is invoked.
CopyProjectAction	The CopyProjectAction is the action designed to copy projects specifically as they have different semantics from other resources.
CopyProjectOperation	Implementation class to perform the actual copying of project resources from the clipboard when paste action is invoked.
CopyResourceAction	Standard action for copying the currently selected resources elsewhere in the workspace.
CreateFileAction	Deprecated. should use NewWizardMenu to populate a New submenu instead (see Navigator view)
CreateFolderAction	Deprecated. should use NewWizardMenu to populate a New submenu instead (see Navigator view)
CreateProjectAction	Deprecated. This new experimental API is being temporary deprecated for release 2.0 New project creation should continue to make use of NewProjectAction.
DeleteResourceAction	Standard action for deleting the currently selected resources.
ExportResourcesAction	Action representing the initiation of an Export operation by the user.
GlobalBuildAction	Standard action for full and incremental builds of all projects within the workspace.
ImportResourcesAction	Action representing the initiation of an Import operation by the user.
LabelRetargetAction	A LabelRetargetAction extends the behavior of RetargetAction.
MoveProjectAction	The MoveProjectAction is the action designed to move projects specifically as they have different semantics from other resources.
MoveResourceAction	Standard action for moving the currently selected resources elsewhere in the workspace.
NewProjectAction	Standard action for launching the create project selection wizard.
NewWizardAction	Invoke the resource creation wizard selection Wizard.
NewWizardMenu	A NewWizardMenu is used to populate a menu manager with New Wizard actions.
OpenFileAction	Standard action for opening an editor on the currently selected file resource(s).
OpenInNewWindowAction	Opens a new window.
OpenNewPageMenu	Deprecated. Workbench no longer exposes the concept of "pages" in the user ui model.

OpenWithMenu	A menu for opening files in the workbench.
PartEventAction	The abstract superclass for actions that listen to part activation and open/close events.
PerspectiveMenu	A menu for perspective selection.
ReadOnlyStateChecker	The ReadOnlyStateChecker is a helper class that takes a set of resource some of which may be read only and queries the user as to whether or not they wish to continue the operation on it.
RefreshAction	Standard action for refreshing the workspace from the local file system for the selected resources and all of their descendents.
RenameResourceAction	Standard action for renaming the selected resources.
RetargetAction	A RetargetAction tracks the active part in the workbench.
ScrubLocalAction	Standard action for scrubbing the local content in the local file system of the selected resources and all of their descendents.

SelectionProviderAction	The abstract superclass for actions that listen to selection changes from a particular selection provider.
SimpleWildcardTester	Implements an algorithm for very simple pattern matching in a string.
TextActionHandler	Handles the redirection of the global Cut, Copy, Paste, and Select All actions to either the current inline text control or the part's supplied action handler.
WorkspaceAction	The abstract superclass for actions whose only role in life is to invoke core commands on a set of selected resources.

Package org.eclipse.ui.actions Description

Classes for actions and operations used in a workbench window, page, or part in the Eclipse Platform User Interface.

Package Specification

Actions for resource management, project build and workbench page management are provided to encourage a standard look and feel across views and editors contributed by independent system vendors. Base classes are also provided for selection oriented actions which enable or disable based upon selection in a part or viewer. These should be used by ISV's to define actions for menus, toolbars, and context menus.

Action which leads to resource modification should take advantage of the WorkspaceModifyOperation classes. These classes are used to defer events which typically occur as a result of workspace changes (such as the firing of resource deltas, performance of autobuilds, etc.) until the outermost operation has successfully completed. This deferral leads to an optimized, faster execution of resource modification because fewer deltas and autobuilds are performed.
