I have a window listener so i can find the current acitve editor
in the listener i have

private CutAction ctAction = new CutAction();

public void windowActivated(IWorkbenchWindow window) {
IEditorSite currentSite = window.getActivePage().
getActiveEditor().getEditorSite();
IActionBars bars = currentSite.getActionBars();
IAction gCutAction = bars.getGlobalActionHandler
(ActionFactory.CUT.getId());
ctAction.setCutActionSource(gCutAction);
bars.setGlobalActionHandler(ActionFactory.CUT.getId(),ctActi on);
IAction g2CutAction = bars.getGlobalActionHandler
(ActionFactory.CUT.getId());
}
basically this is the find out the handler for the cut action, and store it
then i set my action to handle the cut action.
In the run method for my action ctAction from the CutAction class
i call the run method of the action handler i stored the name of earlier

public void run() {
..... cutActionSource.run();
}

when i run this i am recursively calling the run method in CutAction though
i checked the action id i stored and it was:
org.eclipse.jdt.internal.ui.javaeditor.ClipboardOperationAct ion @14f5a31
the last time i ran it

but still does not run its run method
this means cut from the toolbar does not work

i have the same problem with copy & paste
