I am working on a plugin for eclipse that is supposed to do a search of files containing c code, looking for a certain variable.
To make the search fast I need to use the index that eclipse creates of the c code.
Is there a way for my plugin to access the Index created by eclipse programmatically?

The process I want the plugin to perform is the same as the following, but here performed by a user using the GUI: the user has to right click on a variable in the editor, in the pop up menu choose declarations - > workspace. And then a view is opened presenting the information I want my plugin to access.

Hope you can help me.
