public interface IAction

The base interface of various "action" types. Actions are triggered by the user, for example by clicking on a drop down menu item. This is very similar to action classes in frameworks like Swing and JFace, but independent from a specific user interface implementation, so that the same actions can execute in an Eclipse IDE plug-in or an Ajax application.
