Hi, I'm a new at eclipse plugin development and I'm working on a project
which needs to add Annotations to a document open in a editor... I have
looked for several examples and have tried several posible solutions for
the problem with no success... My problem is that the documentation and
samples I have found always relies on you building your own Editor or been
able to call getSourceViewer (which is protected) and my plugin is not
suppoused to offer an editor but use the existing ones...

Does anyone can help me with an example or documentation on how to use
Annotations (and folding) without writting an Editor plugin?

Thanks

Juan,

You can add annotations to the IAnnotationModel of the document
displayed in an editor
(editor.getDocumentProvider().getAnnotationModel(editor.getE ditorInput())).

You cannot directly control folding from the outside, but see the
org.eclipse.jdt.ui.javaFoldingStructureProviders extension point on how
to add your own folding provider to the Java editor.
