Hi,

I'd like to get an Action that is defined in another View. I have the
actions ID, but I have no idea how to get the Action associated with it.
Is this possible?

Thanks,

you could track down a global action using API:
viewPart.getViewSite().getActionBars().getGlobalActionHandle r(actionId);

This is useful for actions targetted at the global RetargetActions
(COPY, PASTE, REFRESH, etc)

If you mean an IAction that you simply added in your view
createPartControl(*), that you can't get to without tracking it down
manually.
