Adding a new command action [message #771380]

I'm trying to add a new Action to my app.
I've created the Action class.
In the ApplicationActionBarAdvisor, I create an instance of it, and call register() for that instance.
I also add it to the coolbar and the menu.
In my Manifest, I've created a new command under "org.eclipse.ui.commands" and specified the id, name, description, and categoryId.

When I run the app, the command works, BUT during app startup I get this exception:

java.lang.Exception
at org.eclipse.jface.action.ExternalActionManager$CommandCallback.isActive(ExternalActionManager.java:370)
at org.eclipse.jface.action.ActionContributionItem.isCommandActive(ActionContributionItem.java:647)

The comments in that code say the command is not yet defined.
So, where do I need to define it?
