How can I set the Caret in a text editor. [message #280101]

When the popup menu is displayed I would like to set the
caret where the mouse is. I.e. clicking on the right button
should do the same as the left button dose.

I have implemented following and I don't know what the
simplest solution is to be able to set the caret/cursor
in run....

public class Action implements IObjectActionDelegate, IEditorActionDelegate {

public void run(IAction action) {
Shell shell = new Shell();
...... <- need help
}

}

See ITextEditor.getSelectionProvider to set the selection / caret on a
text editor.

If you don't have the active editor already, have a look at
IWorkbenchPage.getActiveEditor.

Get the workbench page from the workbench[window] you get from the
AbstractUIPlugin.getWorkbench.
