Class ToolsAction

java.lang.Object

org.openide.util.SharedClassObject

org.openide.util.actions.SystemAction

org.openide.actions.ToolsAction

All Implemented Interfaces:

ActionListener, Externalizable, Serializable, EventListener, Action, Presenter, Presenter.Menu, Presenter.Popup, ContextAwareAction, HelpCtx.Provider

public class ToolsAction
extends SystemAction
implements ContextAwareAction, Presenter.Menu, Presenter.Popup

A "meta-action" that displays (in a submenu) a list of enabled actions provided by modules. Such registered actions are called "service actions": they are provided externally but seem to provide additional services on existing components. Often they will be NodeActions or CookieActions so that they will be enabled based on the node selection, i.e. the node containing this popup. It is desirable for most nodes to include this action somewhere in their popup menu.

Note: you do not need to touch this class to add a service action! Just register your action into UI/ToolActions layer folder (read more about layers) since version 6.15.
