implements ISelectionChangedListener

Action that dispatches the IAction#run() and the ISelectionChangedListener#selectionChanged according to the type of the selection.

  • if selection is of type ITextSelection then run(ITextSelection) and selectionChanged(ITextSelection) is called.
  • if selection is of type IStructuredSelection then run(IStructuredSelection) and selectionChanged(IStructuredSelection) is called.
  • default is to call run(ISelection) and selectionChanged(ISelection).

Note: This class is not intended to be subclassed outside the JDT UI plug-in.
