Is there an available way to simply get a line number for a given Node in
a document? I've searched and searched, but I can't seem to find anything.
This is an xml document in a file in a project. I have a Document and
Node. Is there anything else I might need?

Thanks a ton! That was a lot simpler than I was making it, apparently.
Looks like I was lost in the maze of interfaces.
So given an IDOMNode, all you really need to do is:
int lineNumber =
node.getStructuredDocument().getLineOfOffset(node.getStartOf fset());
Will test this and post results.

If done headlessly, we won't be making changes to the documents. It would
be purely a way to report validation errors as part of a build process. I
just wanted to make sure I could find a way to access line numbers without
resorting to "visible" (e.g. widgets and editors) UI code. (I also
believe that the translator framework does the model reading and writing
part, so if they can work headlessly, so can we.)
Thanks again!

But in java, the first character position in a string is number 0, so
it's consistent with java standards.

Remove the ns_ from if replying by e-mail (but keep posts in the
newsgroups if possible).

True, but when you have line numbers turned on in your editor, and you
have an error on line X, and the error's location is "line X-1", I'd think
those standards aren't the ones to be applying.

Paul,
I ran into this type of issue long ago as well. But clearly it can't be
changed anymore, so whatever the reason, good or bad, it's just that way
now...
