hi,

i'm looking for a specific IClassFile, which is inside a selected IProject.
Finding the ICompilationUnit using the SearchEngin or iterating through
IPackageFragments seems to easy.

but how do you get the IClassFile?

many thanks in advance.

I have a follow-up question to this older thread.

What I want to do is to get the absolute path to a class file. However I
only have an IMethod retrieved from an ISelection. From what I
understand from several other posts and the Javadoc API I could now

* get the ICompilationUnit from the IMethod and retrieve the
IPackageFragment and the IJavaProject from it and then

* use the IPackageFragment.getClassFile method with the class name I get
from the ICompilationUnit (minus .java plus .class) to get the
IClassFile, which I can use in turn to get the relative path and then

* use the IJavaProject.geOutputLocation to get the output path and then

* combine both informations for a still relative link to the sought
class file.

I'm just wondering if that really is the easiest way to find the class
file corresponding to a source file, the solution I outlined seems to be
too complicated for such an everyday task ...

Any hints are appreciated!
