ASTParser setEnvironment which paths to use [message #715517]

Hi

I am having trouble setting up my ASTParser for parsing from char[] Source.

I need resolvedBindings so I decided to use the new setEnvironment Method but Im stuck with the paths.

When I got the following directory structure:

WORKSPACE/project/src/org/ep/tests
WORKSPACE/project/src/org/ep/tests/after
WORKSPACE/project/src/org/ep/tests/before

what are my classpathEntries and sourcepathEntries?

It says to pass absolute paths, does that mean from / or from the root of the Workspace?

Do I need to pass both? Or would the sources be enough to resolve the bindings?

Thanks in advance!

Absolute paths always means from /. You could mention sourcePathEntries as WORKSPACE/project/src. Note that you could stop at src. BTW, if your application is an Eclipse plugin, you could also just call setProject() rather than setEnvironment.

Hm, so I will have to start those paths from the beginning of my filesystem root directory? Wouldnt they work in a diffferent environment?

About the setProject: yes I tried to use that, but I couldnt find an easy way to get the current Project, do you know how to obtain that?

Best

Yes, the full path will change, but programmaticaly you will be able to a way to find the full path. By the way, you could get the project by calling something like

JavaCore.create(ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace().getRoot().getProject("ProjectName"));

Thanks, but thats whats not working for me. I run the plugin as Junit Plugin Test and I get an open but empty Workspace. No projects in it, so it cant open any project that I would want to open with your piece of code.

No idea why is this though... cant find a decent tutorial or help online as well...
