Package-level Javadoc
Provides support for shared UI resources such as menus,
tool bars, and status lines.
Package Specification
Contribution managers coordinate contributions to shared UI resources such
as menus, menu bars, tool bars, and status lines. ContributionManager
maintains the contributions as a dynamic list of contribution items (IContributionItems).
Separators (Separator) can be included in contribution lists to
break up the list's visual representation. Internally, contribution lists
can be organized into named groups via special group markers (GroupMarker)
to facilitate programatic insertion at specific positions within the list.
Three specific contribution managers are provided: a status line manager
(StatusLineManager), a tool bar manager (ToolBarManager),
and a hierarchical menu manager (MenuManager).
Actions (IAction) are commands which can be triggered from
the UI, like the ones found in menus, toolbars, and buttons. Menus and
tools bars are typically populated with contribution items that delegate
to actions (ActionContributionItem).
Note: None of the classes in this package maintain global state.

contributions to a tool bar. |
| LegacyActionTools.java | Class |
Some static utility methods for handling labels on actions. |
| MenuManager.java | Class | A menu manager is a contribution manager which realizes itself and its items
in a menu control; either as a menu bar, a sub-menu, or a context menu. |

| SubContributionManager.java | Class | A SubContributionManager is used to define a set of contribution
items within a parent manager. |
| SubCoolBarManager.java | Class | A SubCoolBarManager monitors the additional and removal of
items from a parent manager so that visibility of the entire set can be changed as a
unit. |
