ActionParser

public class ActionParser extends Object implements ResourceParser
This class parses an Action object from a GUIResourceBundle. The specified key is used to look up the Command string for the action. The key is also used as a prefix for other resource names that specify other attributes (such as the label and icon) associated with the Action. An action named "zoomOut" might be specified like this: zoomOut: zoom(0.5); zoomOut.label: Zoom Out zoomOut.description: Zoom out by a factor of 2 Because Action objects are often reused by an application (for example in a toolbar and a menu system, this ResourceParser caches the Action objects it returns. By sharing Action objects, you can disable and enable an action and that change will affect the entire GUI.
