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.
