detecting method/type context of current cursor position [message #234377]

Hi,

I'm looking for a way to detect what "context" the current cursor position
is.

It should be efficient enough to be done during code completion (so
doesn't have to be done on every cursor move)

The context i'm looking for is:

a) what method am I currently "on"/"in"

b) what parameter (type, name and/or position) am I at.

For example (where ! is where code completion occurs)

for

File file;

file.setName("!");

I would like to know the method is java.io.File.setName and i'm in the
first parameter as a string.

Any takers ? :)

Is it still vacation time for JDT gurus ? :)
