Description Jesse Glick 2011-12-01 17:58:44 UTC 
Given a known

@ActionID(category=Constants.CATEGORY, id=Constants.ID) ...

it is often useful to load that Action for some sort of programmatic presentation. Currently you need to do

FileUtil.getConfigObject("Actions/" + Constants.CATEGORY + "/" + Constants.ID.replace('.', '-') + ".instance", Action.class)

which is awkward. This should rather be a utility method in Actions.

Please review.
Comment 3 Jesse Glick 2012-01-06 16:18:31 UTC 
Employed the new method in a bunch more places. Also changed it to throw IAE when the corresponding @ActionID would have been rejected during compilation, to defend against likely mistakes such as using '-' as a package separator. core-main #f5e9614e5a7d
