/**
* Allows a tabbed properties view to make contributions to action bars.

* An action provider is called when the tabbed properties view becomes the
* active view. It is at this point where the action provider can override the
* action bars.
* </p>
* <p>
* Normally {@link TabbedPropertySheetPage#setActionBars(IActionBars)} is
* sufficient, but this is only called once and is not sufficient for a
* contributor that is selection based. An example is the Project Explorer where
* different providers contribute different action sets and properties
* configurations.
* </p>
* <p>
* The most frequent use of setActionBars() is to retarget the global actions
* for undo and redo based on the active tabbed properties view contributor.
