SampleAction

public class SampleAction extends Object implements org.eclipse.ui.IWorkbenchWindowActionDelegate
Our sample action implements workbench action delegate. The action proxy will be created by the workbench and shown in the UI. When the user tries to use the action, this delegate will be created and execution will be delegated to it.

We will cache window object in order to be able to provide parent shell for the message dialog.

see

		this.window = window;
public voidrun(org.eclipse.jface.action.IAction action)
The action has been activated. The argument of the method represents the 'real' action sitting in the workbench UI.

public voidselectionChanged(org.eclipse.jface.action.IAction action, org.eclipse.jface.viewers.ISelection selection)
