Hi,
Please let me know how to execute an eclipse key binding through the java code. I would want to select a file and run a key binding on it like formating automatically using the java code. i.e., select a file, then 'Alt+Shift+S' and then F. Please help me out.

Regards
Archana

That doesn't sound like a right way. You should find the underlying
command (like org.eclipse.jdt.ui.edit.text.java.format) for that binding
and then call IHandlerService.executeCommand
