Hi,
Former, in sampleAction, I used package.Activator.getDefault().method();
but now getDefault() seems to have disappeared, so do you know how to do now?

Are you talking about your own bundle? If so note that the bundle Activator is only instantiated once. So you can always implement the singleton pattern and use a "getDefault" method to retrieve the one singleton instance. The method getDefault is not part of an API because it has to be implemented in a static manner. If you create a new Plugin-Project with an Activator the Singleton Pattern along with the getDefault method is up to my knowledge always created for you by the new ProjectWizard. On the other hand if you create an Activator after the project has been created you will get an empty class that extends from AbstractUIPlugin (nevertheless you can implement the required Singleton pattern).
