Provides a set of classes that implement a Service that facilitates the contribution of actions to modeling platform workbench parts. It is meant to address some of the deficiencies in the Eclipse support for static action contributions, as follows:

In order to contribute contributions items to the service, clients should use the org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.common.ui.services.action.contributionItemProviders extension point. The provider implementation specified in the extension point should subclass the {@link org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.common.ui.services.action.contributionitem.AbstractContributionItemProvider} class in this package.

Contributions made through this extension point could be for a workbench part's action bars (referred to as part contributions) or for a workbench part's popup menu (referred to as popup contributions). The extension point provides an XML description of those contributions to be read by the described providers. The extension point provides an alternative to the following Eclipse extension points:
