dependency injection for menu / AnAction

(I can inject dependencies to Components but not to AnAction)

Dependency injection is unfortunately not supported for AnAction instances. You need to use getComponent() or getService() to get your dependencies.

thanks, but which object has those methods? AnAction doesn't have them and I can't find them

see com.intellij.openapi.components.ServiceManager and Module/Project/Application to obtain Component from corresponding scope

Thanks, found it
