Interface Actionable

All Known Implementing Classes:
FileRepo, InfoFileRepo, Workspace.CachedFileRepo, WorkspaceRepository

public interface Actionable
An interface to allow bnd to provide commands on elements. This interface can provide information about the implementer but it can also provide information about its elements. These elements are identified by a target. A target is one or more objects that uniquely identify a child in the container. The exact protocol for the target is left to the implementers, this interface is just a conduit between the bnd world (no Eclipse etc) and the GUI world, using only bnd and java interfaces.
