/**
 * The ActionManager manages sets of javax.swing.Actions for an
 * application. There are convenience methods for getting and setting the state
 * of the action.
 * All of these elements have a unique id tag which is used by the ActionManager
 * to reference the action. This id maps to the Action.ACTION_COMMAND_KEY
 * on the Action.
 * 

* The ActionManager may be used to conveniently register callback methods * on BoundActions. *

* A typical use case of the ActionManager is: *

*

 *   ActionManager manager = ActionManager.getInstance();
 *
 *   // load Actions
 *   manager.addAction(action);
 *
 *   // Change the state of the action:
 *   manager.setEnabled("new-action", newState);
 * 
* * The ActionManager also supports Actions that can have a selected state * associated with them. These Actions are typically represented by a * JCheckBox or similar widget. For such actions the registered method is * invoked with an additional parameter indicating the selected state of * the widget. For example, for the callback handler: *

*

 *  public class Handler {
 *      public void stateChanged(boolean newState);
 *   }
 * 
* The registration method would look similar: *
 *  manager.registerCallback("select-action", new Handler(), "stateChanged");
 * 
*

* The stateChanged method would be invoked as the selected state of * the widget changed. Additionally if you need to change the selected * state of the Action use the ActionManager method setSelected. *

* The ActionContainerFactory uses the managed Actions in a * ActionManager to create user interface components. It uses the shared * instance of ActionManager by default. For example, to create a JMenu based on an * action-list id: *

 * ActionContainerFactory factory = new ActionContainerFactory();
 * JMenu file = factory.createMenu(list);
 *
