public class TopcatWindowAction<W extends JFrame> extends BasicAction implements TopcatToolAction
TopcatToolAction implementation that instantiates a window of a given class when invoked. The window will be instantiated via a constructor taking a single Component argument; such a constructor must therefore exist. This parent component is just used to position the window, it's permissible, though not encouraged, to just ignore that argument.
