I'm currently searching the same and used something like the following,
but was not yet succesful with changing the position:

TextSelection selection =new TextSelection(
document,start,length);
editor.getSelectionProvider().setSelection(selection);

If you get a solution running, please provide your ideas.

Ciao, Michael.
