Replacement for Action Set Part Association ? [message #1421625]

So I have an extension using actionSetPartAssociations to make a third-party action set (Eclipse text actions in this case) be visible in my editor:

   <extension point="org.eclipse.ui.actionSetPartAssociations">
      <actionSetPartAssociation targetID="org.eclipse.ui.edit.text.actionSet.presentation">
         <part id="org.dsource.ddt.ide.ui.editors.DeeEditor"/>
      </actionSetPartAssociation>
   </extension>

This extension point is marked as deprecated though, so what alternative is there to do the above? Note that the referred actionset is from a third party, so I can't modify it - I can't change it to commands nor add visibility/enableWhen elements. So is there even a replacement for this? Or is the UI use-case itself something that is not supported/recommended anymore?

I have also encountered this problem recently: The Xtend IDE is configured to offer the org.eclipse.jdt.ui.JavaActionSet if an Xtend editor is opened.

Currently, it is configured via the

org.eclipse.ui.actionSetPartAssociations

extension point, that is deprecated.

See also https://github.com/eclipse/xtext-xtend/issues/543

The question is how to use the

org.eclipse.ui.commands

extension point in this case?

Lots of action stuff is deprecated but a great many things still use it; I'm really not sure what you should use instead that isn't deprecated. Perhaps no one knows or know one how does know is looking at the forum to provide a helpful answer. :-(
