/**
 * A container annotation for all {@link Action} annotations which define fixed actions on a class marked with
 * {@link ScreenEntity}<br/>
 * Actions are used as meta-data for exposing possible actions on a screen entity to front-ends / remote API's, An example is
 * OpenLegacy MVC web framework, which automatically generates web controllers handler methods for each action. <br/>
 * 
 * <br/>
 * <br/>
 * Example:<br/>
 * <br/>
 * <code>@ScreenActions(actions = { @Action(action = TerminalActions.F2.class, displayName = "Save") }) <br/>public class ItemDetails {<br/>...<br/>}</code>
