finding the path of the selected file [message #717819]

Eclipse User

Hello,

I need to develop an eclipse plug-in which takes the path of a text file and calls a c++ binary file (Linux platform). I need the path of the file so that I can make a system call of the form: ./run -i "path" (my binary is run).
What I need is to be able to grab the path of the file that I'm currently seeing in eclipse and then plug it into my Linux command in the system call and then display the output. Can someone help me with that? I mean how can I get the path of the file I am seeing in eclipse. Or at least the path of the file currently selected in workbench.

Thanx
