When you do this, you get a
org.eclipse.ui.internal.PluginActionContributionItem, which doesn't give
you access to any methods to query the state of the item if it
is a TOGGLE or RADIO button.
If you can get access to the ToolBar, you should be able to access the
ToolItem, which contains the information needed. But, I can't find a way
to do that.

Thanks. This seems to work. I would be interested in knowing if there is
a better way of doing this.

I tried what you suggest. I created a command, and put its id as the
definitionId of the editorAction. Then, I tried to access it via,
CommandManager manager = new CommandManager();
Command command = manager.getCommand( "commandId" );
At this point, I'm not seeing any way to get at the state or other
information about the contribution. Am I missing something or doing
something wrong?

I appreciate you trying to help me, but I'm just not seeing how this
helps. Once I have the ICommandService, I still don't understand how to
get at the information I need to find out the state of the button. I can
get the Command using the command's id, but I still see no way of getting
to the state of the button.

Are we talking 3.1.2?
I don't see a getState method in the Command class.
