to get this file path charecter string because a menuitem, in its run()
method needs to give the file path (of type string)to a java class method
that reads that file.

Nita,
It seems there could be a few problems with this approach. For example,
what if a file was never opened, do you expect your run action to do
anything? What if a file was just selected (not actually opened), should
you be able to select run in this case? How about if an editor was
opened, and then the user switched to another editor, what should happen
when run is called?
If you have thought through these issues, and this is how you want your
system to behave, you could make your Action Plug-in depend on your
Editor plugin. Then, in your editor plugin Activator, you could add a
method (getFullPath() or something). When your editor is opened, you
could set the string in your activator. Then, when your action is
called, you could say:
EditorPluginActivator.getDefault().getFullPath() and this would either
return null (no string was set) or the string that your editor set.
of course, you may need to observe other editors, so this string could
be set back to null if the user switches editors.
This seems a little hacky, but it should get your up and running. Maybe
Ed has some other suggestions.
cheers,
ian
