I want to add Copy/Paste Tool items onto my editor's toolbar. So, i tried
to add CopyRetargetAction and PasteRetargetAction to my
ActionBarContributor. But the documentation states that these are
deprecated and that we should use org.eclipse.ui.actions.ActionFactory
instead. How should we use this?
I tried the following:
1. in my ActionBarContributor's buildActions() method, i put the following
addAction(ActionFactory.COPY.create(editor.getEditorSite().g etWorkbenchWindow()));
addAction(ActionFactory.PASTE.create(editor.getEditorSite(). getWorkbenchWindow()));
where the variable 'editor' has been set to MY editor using the
setActiveEditor method.
2. In the method contributeToToolBar(IToolBarManager toolBarManager), i
added the following:
toolBarManager.add(getAction(ActionFactory.COPY.getId()));
toolBarManager.add(getAction(ActionFactory.PASTE.getId()));
BUT, upon execution, i get a NullPointerException at the call to create
the COPY action -
addAction(ActionFactory.COPY.create(editor.getEditorSite().g etWorkbenchWindow()));.
So, how else should i be doing this?
thanks

Step 1 below is not required for step 2. That is, if you don't add the
retarget actions in buildActions(), the copy/paste will still show up on the
toolbar. Look at the getAction() code to see why that is.
However, you'd still want to add the retarget actions in buildActions() show
that the ones on the edit menu work properly, and so do the keybindings.
You can get to the WorkbenchWindow via PlatformUI.
