Is this a text editor (i.e. subclass of AbstractTextEditor)?

Take a look at AbstractTextEditor.getCursorPosition()

Check out AbstractTextEditor#getSelectionProvider(). Ask the selection
provider for it's selection which should be a instance of ITextSelection
(it could be other things, so check). Interrogate that instance for the
information you need. You'll find lots of useful methods on ITextSelection.

HTH,
