Hi,

I saw in the forum some ways to get the current position of the cursor in a Text Editor...but how can I set the cursor for a specific position that i want?
For example, I want to set the cursor to some line, how can I do that?

Roberto,

This isn't a JDT-specific question... I'm not sure, but I think you
generally do this via the editor's selection provider's
getSelection/setSelection methods which should return an ITextSelection
and for which you can create an
org.eclipse.jface.text.TextSelection.TextSelection(int, int) for a call
to setSelection.
