Tri,
Use the source, Luke. If there is a menu action, I'm sure the code for
that action is available. Try plug-in spy, which helps you locate the
plugin that contributed an editor, view or... a menu item:
http://scratsh.wordpress.com/2009/06/09/eclipse-3-5-plug-in-spy-and-menus/
Once you have the (name of the) plugin, you can look in that plugin's
plugin.xml to find the reference to the class that implements the
action. From there you can find the code to reuse.

Tri,
Some more tricks to learn... If you use Window->Show
View->Other...->Plug-in Development->Plug-ins, select all the plugins,
and invoke "Add to Java Search" you'll be able to use Ctrl-Shift-T to
open classes in all those plugins. So you can use that to open this
particular action. Looking at the code is more likely to provide the
information than hoping it's somewhere in the Javadoc. If it's not
clear looking at that method, set a breakpoint and walk through the
logic to see what happens when you actually invoke this action. That
should visit all the code you'll need to do the same thing yourself. If
you're completely stuck, maybe someone in the eclipse.bpmn2-modeler
forum will help, but they're more likely to help if it's clear that
you've done a bunch of homework yourself such that you're asking very
specific questions.
