[news.eclipse.platform.pde] Launching an application from 'run' method?

I have created the HelloWorld example project in the PDE
perspective.  Now in the class SampleHandler there is the function 'run':


/** * The action has been activated. The argument of the * method represents the 'real' action sitting * in the workbench UI. * @see IWorkbenchWindowActionDelegate#run */ public void run(IAction action) {

MessageDialog.openInformation(window.getShell(),"MyPlugin", "Hello, Eclipse world");
MyApp myApp = new MyApp();
myApp.launch();


}



I would like to run the application MyApp when the button is pressed in the workbench but I just get a box saying:

"The chosen operation is not currently available"


It should be mentioned that the MyApp is an application from an external jar that I have added to the build path.


How do I launch my own application when I press the generated button in the workbench?
