    • run

      public void run()
      Deprecated.
      Description copied from class: Action

      run in interface IAction
      Overrides:
      run in class Action

    • getMenu

      public Menu getMenu(Control parent)
      Deprecated.
      Description copied from interface: IMenuCreator
      Returns the SWT menu, created as a pop up menu parented by the given control. In most cases, this menu can be created once, cached and reused when the pop-up/drop-down action occurs. If the menu must be dynamically created (i.e., each time it is popped up or dropped down), the old menu should be disposed of before replacing it with the new menu.
      Specified by:

    • run

      public void run(IAction action)
      Deprecated.
      Description copied from interface: IActionDelegate
      Performs this action.

      This method is called by the proxy action when the action has been triggered. Implement this method to do the actual work.

      Note: If the action delegate also implements IActionDelegate2, then this method is not invoked but instead the runWithEvent(IAction, Event) method is called.

      Specified by:
      run in interface IActionDelegate
      Parameters:
      action - the action proxy that handles the presentation portion of the action
      See Also:
    • selectionChanged

      public void selectionChanged(IAction action, ISelection selection)
      Deprecated.
      Description copied from interface: IActionDelegate
      Notifies this action delegate that the selection in the workbench has changed.

      Implementers can use this opportunity to change the availability of the action or to modify other presentation properties.

      When the selection changes, the action enablement state is updated based on the criteria specified in the plugin.xml file. Then the delegate is notified of the selection change regardless of whether the enablement criteria in the plugin.xml file is met.

      Specified by:
      selectionChanged in interface IActionDelegate
      Parameters:
      action - the action proxy that handles presentation portion of the action
      selection - the current selection, or null if there is no selection.
