Global Action is a Workbench Action
By specifying the complex attribute ISA Workbench Action, the corresponding global action acts as a workbench action.
A workbench action is designed to appear under its modeled label in the Eclipse menu bar as a main entry or submenu entry.
Caused by an existing restriction in Eclipse 4.x, Global Actions are currently not shown in the Eclipse menu. To make global actions still visible they are displayed in the Application Explorer view in the context menu of the entry Global actions directly under the application entry, see the example below:
The context of a workbench action is created from the user selection in the Eclipse workbench.
| Attribute | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Tool Tip [O] | String | The text that displays when the mouse hovers over the global action. |
| Type | Selection | The type of the workbench action. The only available type is currently Menubar. |
