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.
ISelection iSelection = null;
IEditorSite iEditorSite = window.getActivePage().getActiveEditor().getEditorSite();
if (iEditorSite != null) {
ISelectionProvider iSelectionProvider = iEditorSite.getSelectionProvider();
if (iSelectionProvider != null)
{
iSelection = iSelectionProvider.getSelection();
selectedText = ((ITextSelection)iSelection).getText();
}
}
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
