read a file from context menu [message #269357]

IObjectActionDelegate is used for context menus.
How can I get from here the contents of the currently selected file.
It should act on Java files only- for which I can use nameFilter.
I want to be able to get the contents of file-
line by line or character by character- whatsoever possible.
Thanks in advance for this.

Don't crosspost to eclipse.tools.jdt!

Save the selection when your IActionDelegate#selectionChanged(..) is called.
The selection is typically an IStructuredSelection, from which you get an
IFile (e.g. from the ResourceNavigator) or an ICompilationUnit (e.g. from
the PackageExplorer). Then, use methods IFile#getContents() or
ICompilationUnit#getSource().
