The 'class' attribute of the 'ActionFilterProvider' element in the 
org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.common.ui.services.action.actionFilterProviders 
extension point is "Based On" an unknown interface
(org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.common.ui.services.action.filter.IActionFilterProvider
).  

This prevents me from using the Plug-in Manifest Editor to quickly create a 
new class that extends (or implements) the required class (or interface). When 
I click on the "class" link in the "Extension Element Details" section of the 
manifest editor, the resulting Java Attribute Editor is not pre-populated with 
that required class or interface.

This attribute should have the following properties:

Based On = 
org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.common.ui.services.action.filter.AbstractActionFilterPr
ovider

The extension point description must also be corrected to indicate that users 
of the ActionFilterProviders extension point are expected to subclass the 
abstract provider, rather than implement the internal IActionFilterProvider 
interface.
