Issues Creating Windows for Eclipse Plugin [message #1829408]

I am building an Eclipse plugin.I want to be able to click the button in the menu bar to open up a window. I want the window to include a check box that will be used to enable a function and a button to click that will open up a org.eclipse.swt.widgets.FileDialog.

When I run the program, and click the button, eclipse does not open up a separate window. It opens into the workbench directly as a grey window. Any advice on how to fix this issue?

Note: The naming is awful. Sorry! I created this project so I could figure out how to create a custom window without affecting the pieces of the original project that have already been developed.

You never created a new Window of your own. The active window when your handler was invoked was Eclipse's original window, and you only added more into the existing shell.
