Interface IEditorActionDelegate

All Superinterfaces:

public interface IEditorActionDelegate
extends IActionDelegate

Interface for an action that is contributed into an editor-activated menu or tool bar. It extends `IActionDelegate` and adds a method for connecting the delegate to the editor it should work with. Since there is always only one action delegate per editor type, this method supplies the link to the currently active editor instance.

Methods inherited from interface org.eclipse.ui.IActionDelegate
`run, selectionChanged`
