Hallo,
trivial question but difficult to solve for a newbie: I want to be able to
select some text in a java source file and in my plugin I want to have a
button that takes that text and puts it in a list box (in the plugins view).
The problem I am faced with is how to get a hand on the selected text. The
other problem is the other way around: there is some text in the plugins
list box and I want to put it into the java editor at the current text
marker location.
Anyone out there who can help me out with a few lines of sample code?
Regards,
Andreas

Tom,
thanks for your reply. The trick now is to get the ITextEditor, right?
Well, to be honest I have no clue. Can you or someone else please help me
out with finding the ITextEditor of the currently visible text editor?
Many thanks,
Andreas
