The Javadoc on IWorkbenchPage#showActionSet(String) doesn't answer the biggest question about this method - what does it mean? From the user point of view, at least, action sets are associated with perspectives. If there was an API to show an action set in a *perspective*, that would make intuitive sense to me. But telling a page (which contains multiple perspectives) to show an action set doesn't seem right at first glance. By looking at the implementation, I can see that telling a workbench page to show an action set means telling the active perspective in that page to show it. The Javadoc on the method should mention this.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
