Until eclipse 3.2, for a custom view, the preffered way to add toolbar
buttons to it was programatically in the createPartControl() method
using instances of 'Action'. This way the plugin developer gets the
first shot at adding the toolbar buttons.

However since eclipse 3.3 has introduced the new 'handler' framework is
this still the preferred way of adding actions or is it better to add
them declaratively in the plugin.xml using the new 'handlers' extensions.

preferred? Depends on what you are trying to do.

But for the most part, it's preferred to write view commands, provide
them with either a default view handler or instantiate the view handler
in your createPartControl(*), and then place them in your view menu or
toolbar using org.eclipse.ui.menus.
