[news.eclipse.platform.rcp] How to associate global actions (copy, rename, etc.) with handler via plugin

Hi,

As you possibly know Eclipse 3.3 comes with new features for managing 
actions with org.eclipse.ui.menus extension point. You can read more about 
it on 
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/library/os-eclipse-3.3menu/.

I tried to work with that and even it seems pretty complicated it is an 
generic way to manipulate with actions and it is pretty sure that it would 
become a common and recommended way.

But, I really have not the idea how to associate global actions provided by 
ActionFactory such as Copy, Rename, etc. with some handler via plugin.xml. 
Of course it still can be done from an ViewPart or EditPat calling 
ViewSite.getActionBars.setGloabalActionHandler(String actionId, IAction 
action), but it is is not a declarative way.

Please, help to find out how to do that.

Regards,
DL
