I would like handle the openInNewWindow or OpenInNewEditor action when a user selects WindoW->New Window or Window-> new Editor from main menuBar of Eclipse Runtime. I mean I want to create my own customized action class by extending some of the actions from main menubar. Please suggest how to do this.

If you are utilizing an editor in 3.x, most of that plumbing already exists. Take a look at some of Lars' tutorials and the wiki documentation.

A good place to start is:
http://www.vogella.com/articles/EclipseEditors/article.html
-or-

Again if you are within 3.x, the method you will need to focus on is doSave(). When you create your editor by extending from EditorPart, you will need to override this method.
