I have created a Eclipse plug in to printout the object in selection on press of a short cut key. I have been able to do this ,but i also would like to add the current method and current class name in the log. I am not sure how to proceede further. I tried to search for breadcrumb API but i was not able to reference the package from my project. I am quite new to plugin developement could someone guide me as to how to achive my goal. Thanks in advance.

A:
It really hard to get that stuff from Breadcrumb, you would have to use reflection to get it.
Here is the code to get current method from editor.
ITextEditor editor = (ITextEditor) PlatformUI.getWorkbench()
.getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActivePage().getActiveEditor();
ITextSelection selection = (ITextSelection) editor
.getSelectionProvider().getSelection();
IEditorInput editorInput = editor.getEditorInput();
IJavaElement elem = JavaUI.getEditorInputJavaElement(editorInput);
if (elem instanceof ICompilationUnit) {
ICompilationUnit unit = (ICompilationUnit) elem;
IJavaElement selected = unit.getElementAt(selection.getOffset());
System.out.println("selected=" + selected);
System.out.println("selected.class=" + selected.getClass());
}
