All Implemented Interfaces:

IAction

public final class RetargetTextEditorAction
extends ResourceAction

Action used by an editor action bar contributor to establish placeholders in menus or action bars which can be retargeted to dynamically changing actions, for example, those which come from the active editor. This action assumes that the "wrapped" action sends out property change events in response to state changes. It uses these change notifications to adapt its enabling state and its visual presentation.
