/**
* 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);
*
