It depends on what you are doing and where you got the PasteAction from 
... if the paste action is being supplied in a view using something like:

getViewSite().getActionBars().setGlobalActionHandler(ActionFactory.PASTE.getId(), 
pasteAction);

This call is also auto-generating a handler for paste for this view.

If you simply have a paste action that you were putting in a 
MenuManager, you can create a handler for it yourself using 
IHandlerService and the JFace ActionHandler.

What is it that you want to do?  What parts do you currently have (like 
paste action, where is it created/used)?
