Jaroslav Tulach commented on NETBEANS-5680:
-------------------------------------------

I believe the Project API including {{ActionProvider}} pre-dates 
{{ContextAwareAction}}. At that time there was one global selection and writing 
action which extracts a {{DataObject}} then gets {{FileObject}} and then finds 
{{getOwner}} wasn't that easy. These days one could create {{public static 
Lookup ProjectUtils.actionContext()}} and do most of the magic (of finding 
Project/ActionProvider) in there. The actions would just extract {{Project}} or 
{{ActionProvider}} from the associated {{Lookup}}. If there was {{public static 
final ContextAwareAction ProjectUtils.BUILD}} - then it'd be the action to use 
in menu and toolbar as well as factory for actions running in other contexts.

> In [https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/2948] surfaced a long-standing 
> issue, that clients are asked to use a SPI interface directly. This 
> complicates adding optional functionaliy to SPI as it requires *API clients* 
> to maneuver around old/new SPI impl differences.
> A proper API counterpart for *ActionProvider*, *ActionProgress* (and maybe 
> *ProjectConfiguration*) should be created.
