When adding actions via an ActionBarContributor should you add the
actions to a ‘global handler’:
• pageSite.getActionBars().setGlobalActionHandler() as per the
logic editor sample **or** editor handler
• getEditorSite().getService(IHandlerService.class).
activateHandler() as per the shapes example?

(with apologies - asking my questions in a batch got little attention
except for Jens - so I will ask then one at a time.)

Thanks in advance for any help
