Hi,

I am trying to develop my first plug-in.
The plug-in should manipulate the content of the selected text in the active text editor.

I started with the “hello world” example from the “Cheat sheet” which worked perfect.
When tried to modify I found that project not recognizing many types.

I added the following jars to the project build path libraries:

  • org.eclipse.jface.text_3.5.1.r351_v20090708-0800.jar
  • org.eclipse.text_3.5.0.v20090513-2000.jar
  • org.eclipse.ui.editors_3.5.0.v20090527-2000.jar

Now code compiles perfect.

  1. ISelection iSelection = null;
  2. IEditorSite iEditorSite = window.getActivePage().getActiveEditor().getEditorSite();
  3. if (iEditorSite != null) {
  4. ISelectionProvider iSelectionProvider = iEditorSite.getSelectionProvider();
  5. if (iSelectionProvider != null)
  6.   {
  7.    iSelection = iSelectionProvider.getSelection();
  8.    selectedText = ((ITextSelection)iSelection).getText();
  9.   }
  10. }

The problem is in line 08. although eclipse recognize the ITextSelection interface, at runtime I get cannot resolve type exception.

When trying to deploy the code I get the following line in the deploy log:

The import org.eclipse.jface.text cannot be resolved
