Try
Point pos = Display.getCurrent().getCursorLocation();
pos=map.getGraphicalViewer().getControl().toControl(pos) ;

will get a point that you have clicked on in the editor, not sure if this
is what you want.

where 'map' refers to the GEF editor class.
We use this in a PasteAction class that inherits from a GEF
SelectionAction.
