You could call the run() method of the action.

Thanks for the response, Martin.

But I need to know the process to get access to the Action object.
Eclipse mantain a list of Actions available, for the menu options and
toolbar buttons. What I want is to get access to one of these commands
and run it. For example, to close all Editors, Exit program, Save, Save
All.
Is it possible to start an Action creating an object, through new
statement? In this case, what do I need to pass in constructor ?

I've look at this problem once before. My conclusion was that it was
difficult to get to the actions of the workbench. For the most part,
initialized actions live in a class called ActionPresentation and this
class builds the Actions using a PluginActionBuilder and
ActionsetDescriptors. Perspectives hold arrays of ActionsetDescriptors
and pass these descriptors to the ActionPresentation when they are
activated.

The best way to get access to actions is to use the workbench's actionset
registry. With this you can pull out ActionsetDescriptors. The trick is
to then initialize or build Actions using these descriptors. You'll need
a class like PluginActionbuilder to do this but it's contained in an
"internal" package so I dared not use it.

good luck.
