I am building an Eclipse 4 Application and I would like to make an about dialog as known from Eclipse 3.
I used the Menu Spy and learned the following:

The active contribution location URI:

menu:help?after=about

The active action definition identifier:

org.eclipse.ui.help.aboutAction

The active contribution item class:

ActionFactory$WorkbenchCommandAction

The contributing plug-in:

org.eclipse.ui.workbench

QUESTION:
Can I somehow use this action to open or extend the about dialog in my application?

    There is no such a thing like preimplemented “about” dialog in e4.
    The old about dialog relied on the ´org.eclipse.ui.IWorkbench´ which is null in new e4 applicaiton-model.

    So the about dialog must be implemented from scratch.
