Accessing IType from IField [message #31980]

I am using the org.eclipse.jdt.core package in a plugin to introspect
information about a user's classes. I have a situation in which I have
accessed a particular IField within an IType. I know that this IField is
another Java object contained within the same IJavaProject. When I get that
IField, how do I access the IType associated with it? Ideally I'm trying to
get the fully-qualified name of the IField, but all I can find through the
JDT API is the simple name for an IField.

In other words, how do I programmatically access the IType associated with
the IField "anotherTypeField" below? Is this possible?

public class MyType {
private AnotherType anotherTypeField;
...
}

Thanks,
DW

That gives me an IJavaElement, which I can already access from the IField
since it extends the IJavaElement interface. I don't see any methods in
IJavaElement that will let me get at the IType of the IField. The
"getElementType" in IJavaElement will only return an integer, which will
merely indicate that my IField is of type IJavaElement.FIELD.

so do you want the declaring class or the declared type?
it's not clear from what you said ("IType associated with the IField" is at
least ambiguous).
in other words: what would be name of the IType you're after? "MyType" or
"AnotherType"? or do want yet something else?

Sorry about the ambiguity...what I'm ultimately looking for is the
fully-qualified name of the class associated with the IField. So in my
example above if I have the following...

import com.mycompany.AnotherType;

public class MyType {
private AnotherType anotherTypeField;
...
}

....then what I want to programmatically access when I retrieve the IField
associated with "anotherTypeField" would be "com.mycopmany.AnotherType".

in that case, simply call IType.resolveType

That's exactly what I was looking for.
