SWT - Closing a dialog window from a different class

Let me try and explain what I am talking about better.

Main GUI has a button that when clicked opens Dialog A Dialog A's OK button runs a method in the main GUI

public void widgetSelected(SelectionEvent e) {
       baseDialog.startPrintOperation();
}

When the baseDialog.startPrintOperation() method finishes, I want dialog A to close.

How can I close Dialog A from a method in a different class?

EDIT

Here is the okButton in Dialog A

okButton.addSelectionListener(new SelectionAdapter() {
     @Override
     public void widgetSelected(SelectionEvent e) {
        getPlotterSelection();
        getSpinnerValue();
        Runnable r = new Runnable() {
           public void run() {
              baseDialog.startPrintOperation();
           }
          };

          if(Display.getCurrent() != null) {
             r.run();
          }
          else {
             Display.getDefault().asyncExec(r);
          }
      }
  });

Here is the section of the printOperation method that needs to close Dialog A. This method is in the MAIN GUI class

finally {
           plotOp.removeOperationListener(this);
           plotOp = null;
           Display.getDefault().asyncExec(new Runnable() {
              public void run() {
                 removeAllTableRows();
                 plotRequestCompleted = true;
                 THIS is where I want to close Dialog A;
              }
           });
        }
     }
  });
  session.queueOperation(plotOp);

} // end startPrintOperation()

Invoke Dialog.public boolean close() once you finish the print call.
