Hello people, sorry if this is not the place for this question. Feel free to delete the post if it's not.

I'm trying to create a plugin for Eclipse that will get the file currently active (an XML file), perform different modifications on it, and then update the text in Eclipse with the new version... Or that's the idea.

Since I'm completely new to this thing, I've followed the tutorial on Eclipse and now I have a working plugin that just outputs "hello world".

What I don't know is how could I get the text in the current file, parse it as an XML, modify it, and update the text.

But doing a step at a time, right now I just need to know how to get the d*mn file. Smile

Thanks for the time.
