Getting a IType from a String [message #140743]

Hi all!

In a plug-in I have a fully qualified name of a Java class as a String. I
would like to get a IType object that corresponds to that name.

I need something like:
IType Workspace.getIType(String fullyQualifiedName);
(obviously, this is a fictitious method)

Is there a method that I can use? I've been looking at SearchEngine, but I
don't get it :-(

thanks

Philippe

Please see IJavaProject.findType(String).
