I had to create it using the Action factory, too. I managed that a command based action showed up, but it was not linked to the dirty state of the editors. Digging into the Action's code I saw that it's not bridged the way the other actions are. I guess it's the last resistant of the disapering species, the actions ;-) I experienced exactly the same, when it was up to the save command. I had to create it using the Action factory, too.

Or did I overlook something as well?

It appears that the images are being contributed by the org.eclipse.ui.commandImages extension point, which I wasn't familiar with before. I guess the only thing missing at this point is the help context specifications. --- Patrick Hi Lars,

I just tested with the commands Exit and Copy. I assume the same applies fot the internationalization but I did not test this. In general I believe actions should not be used any more.
