[platform-ui-dev] Getting the cursor position in the current editor

[Sameer <sameerkolhekar@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi ,

I am making some application in Java in which I have to get the cursor
position or a mouseclick position in the current active editor... I
created a very small code to start with 

public class MouseTest {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
	
		System.out.println(PlatformUI.isWorkbenchRunning());
		IEditorPart editor =   PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActi vePage().getActiveEditor();
		if (editor instanceof ITextEditor) {
		  ISelectionProvider selectionProvider = ((ITextEditor)editor).getSelectionProvider();
		  ISelection selection = selectionProvider.getSelection();
		  if (selection instanceof ITextSelection) {
		    ITextSelection textSelection = (ITextSelection)selection;
		    int offset = textSelection.getOffset(); // etc.
		  }
		}	   
       System.out.println( "hi --");
	}
}


But when I run this application I get an error
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalStateException: Workbench has not been created yet.
