[news.eclipse.tools] How to get action id string from plugin.xml file???

[Miriam Ford <miriamf@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I'm trying to get to the action id string defined in my plugin.xml from
my code, but instead of receiving the action id defined in the
plugin.xml file, I'm getting a different action id.

Shouldn't the action id returned by the action.getId() method be the
same as the action id defined in the plugin.xml file?  Is this a bug?
How can I get the action id string from the plugin.xml file?

Here's a snippet of the code from my action class that I'm using to get
the action id string:

public void run(IAction action)
{
 String actionId = action.getId();
 String actionText = action.getText();
 Log.log(this, "action id: "+actionId);
 Log.log(this, "action text: "+actionText);
}

Here's what is being logged:

13:06:42.968  com.ibm.voicetools.browser.LaunchBrowserFromNavigator
action id: PluginAction.19
13:06:42.968  com.ibm.voicetools.browser.LaunchBrowserFromNavigator
action text: Run in Audio Mode
13:06:48.325  com.ibm.voicetools.browser.LaunchBrowserFromNavigator
action id: PluginAction.18
13:06:48.335  com.ibm.voicetools.browser.LaunchBrowserFromNavigator
action text: Run in Text Mode
13:06:52.481  com.ibm.voicetools.browser.LaunchBrowserFromProject action
id: PluginAction.3
13:06:52.481  com.ibm.voicetools.browser.LaunchBrowserFromProject action
text: Run in Audio Mode
13:06:56.567  com.ibm.voicetools.browser.LaunchBrowserFromProject action
id: PluginAction.2
13:06:56.567  com.ibm.voicetools.browser.LaunchBrowserFromProject action
text: Run in Text Mode

And, here's a snippet of my plugin.xml file where it defines the two
actions sets (the items that show up in the Project pull down menu) and
the two popup menu actions:

<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.popupMenus">
 <objectContribution
    id="com.ibm.voicetools.browser.popupMenu1"
           objectClass="org.eclipse.core.resources.IFile"
           nameFilter="*.vxm*">
       <action
         id="com.ibm.voicetools.browser.text.popupmenu"
         label="%RunTextMode.label"
         menubarPath="additions"
         icon="icons/run.gif"
         class="com.ibm.voicetools.browser.LaunchBrowserFromNavigator"
         enablesFor="1">
       </action>
       <action
         id="com.ibm.voicetools.browser.audio.popupmenu"
         label="%RunAudioMode.label"
         menubarPath="additions"
         icon="icons/run.gif"
         class="com.ibm.voicetools.browser.LaunchBrowserFromNavigator"
         enablesFor="1">
       </action>

 </objectContribution>
</extension>

<extension
 point="org.eclipse.ui.actionSets">
 <actionSet
  id="com.ibm.voicetools.browser.BrowserActionSet"
         label="Browser"
  visible="true"
  description="Browser Action Set">
  <action id="com.ibm.voicetools.browser.text.projectmenu"
   menubarPath="workbench/wbEnd"
   label="%RunTextMode.label"
   icon="icons/run.gif"
   class="com.ibm.voicetools.browser.LaunchBrowserFromProject"
   enablesFor="1">
  <selection class="org.eclipse.core.resources.IFile" name="*.vxm*"/>
  </action>
  <action id="com.ibm.voicetools.browser.audio.projectmenu"
   menubarPath="workbench/wbEnd"
   label="%RunAudioMode.label"
   icon="icons/run.gif"
   class="com.ibm.voicetools.browser.LaunchBrowserFromProject"
   enablesFor="1">
  <selection class="org.eclipse.core.resources.IFile" name="*.vxm*"/>
  </action>

     </actionSet>
</extension>

Thanks for your help.
