Question

I’m very new to eclipse plugin development, and frankly to eclipse itself. I am trying to find a way to access a list of which files are currently being worked on by the user, and possibly even more specifically, what part of these files (which class, method, block of code, etc.).

I am thinking that I would like to have the plugin grab information on which files are currently open in the tabs, and then go from there, but I can’t even figure out how to do this. I’ve been searching the eclipse documentation at help.eclipse.org, but I still haven’t found anything useful for what I want to do. Does anyone have any ideas?

Try the following code:

IWorkbenchPage[] pages = PlatformUI.getWorkbench()
    .getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getPages();

for (IWorkbenchPage page : pages) {
    IEditorReference[] references = page.getEditorReferences();

    for (IEditorReference reference : references) {
        IEditorInput input = reference.getEditorInput();
    }
}
