Running command in another plugin [message #333195]

I am currently using the CFEclipse plugin for its snippets functionality.
Included with the plugin is a command named
org.cfeclipse.cfml.editors.actions.InsertSnippet which inserts a snippet
based on some trigger text in the editor.

I want to build a simple plugin that has a single toolbar icon. When
clicked, I want it to call the command from the CFEclipse plugin. Can I do
that directly in my plugin.xml file or do I need to create an action that
calls their command?

Is this even possible?

Thanks so much,
Lee

You can use org.eclipse.ui.menus to call their command from plugin.xml
or IHandlerService to execute their command programmatically.
