Hey all,
I have a plugin where a context menu pops up when the user right clicks on a project. In the plugin I want to be able to get the path to the project. How would I go about doing this?
Thank you.

Edit:
I know that you can get the path from the IProject class, but I don't know how to get that class.
I also know you can get a list of projects through the runtime library or something, which I've done, but I don't know how to get the specific one that was clicked on.

(1) http://catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

(2) How about looking at an existing plug-in that does what you want,
and learning from it?

Ok here's the answer for anybody else.

You get that interface from the selectionchanged function. From there you can loop through that and get the project. In my case the only entry is the project.
