Hello,

Is there an 'easy' way to get and instance of an action from within an
RCP/Plugin application and set its state? I am using an ActionSet to
contribute to the menu bar and I want to get instances of these actions.

I am looking at this thread :
http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.platform.rcp/m sg05874.html

and this one:
http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.platform.swt/m sg08402.html

From what I understand here, if I am using ActionSet actions, I have to
make them retargetable and manually register them within the code. Is this
the only way to get access to the instance of the action?

Thanks!

--Bill

I looking for this too,
one solution is to define your actions "globally" in the
WorkbenchAdvisor, the other way is to define view specific retargetable
actions. But it is not possible to define actions common to some views
(e.g. in a perspective) and to get a reference to this actions.
