Hi. I also created this post on stackoverflow
stackoverflow.com/questions/13682292/eclipse-package-explorer-set-selection
but without succes and found about this forum and hope I'll have more luck here.

So basicaly I have a file in my workspace; I know it's location and I know it exists.
All I need to do is set it as the current selected(or focused) file in the package explorer.

I tried this

 file = ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace().getRoot().getFileForLocation(myPath);
if (file != null ) {
            //Select the data file
            IViewReference[] views = PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActivePage().getViewReferences();
            for(IViewReference view:views){
                if("org.eclipse.jdt.ui.PackageExplorer".equals(view.getId())){
                    IViewPart pExplorer = view.getView(true);
                    pExplorer.getViewSite().getSelectionProvider().setSelection(--);
                    break;
                }
            }

But with the information I have on my file, I couldn't manage to create a structuredSelection or something like that which is required as a param for setSelection().

I hope I'm on the right forum. This is really urgent for me so any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
