@Override
public Object execute(ExecutionEvent event) throws ExecutionException {
	IWorkbenchWindow activeWorkbenchWindow = HandlerUtil
			.getActiveWorkbenchWindow(event);
	if (activeWorkbenchWindow != null) {
       		IHandlerService handlerService = (IHandlerService) 

                   activeWorkbenchWindow.getService(
                      IHandlerService.class);
                try {
                     handlerService.executeCommand(TheCommandId, null);
                } catch (...) {
                }
	}
        ...
	return null;
}

where TheCommandId is the commandId of the to be invoked command.
