public class DrawLineTool extends AbstractToolButton {
 
  @Override
  protected String getConfiguredIconId() {
    return Icons.DrawLine;
  }
 
  @Override
  protected String getConfiguredText() {
    return TEXTS.get("DrawLine");
  }
 
  @Override
  protected String getConfiguredTooltipText() {
    return TEXTS.get("DrawLineTooltip");

  @Override
  protected void execAction() throws ProcessingException {
    MessageBox.showOkMessage(TEXTS.get("DrawLineTitle"), TEXTS.get("DrawLineInfo"), null);
  }
}

FormToolButton:

@Order(40.0)
public class GroupFormTool extends AbstractFormToolButton<GroupForm> {
 
  @Override
  protected String getConfiguredIconId() {
    return Icons.Group;
  }
 
  @Override
  protected String getConfiguredText() {
    return TEXTS.get("Group");
  }
 
  @Override
  protected void execAction() throws ProcessingException {
    GroupForm form = new GroupForm();
    decorateForm(form);
