All,

i have actually started with a plugin development and have been stuck up
with this for sometime.

suppose i do a right click on a java file and do an action[custom inserted
in the context menu] , i need to get the fully qualified name of the java
file [eg : com.manh.contractmanagement.delete.java] which i have selected,
in the run method of my action delgate class.

the run method is dependant on the java file i have selected.how can i
get the fully qualified name of the java file i have selected inside my
run method ? i did some research but i was not able to find an answer for
this!!!!

One way to do this would be to implement a command and a command handler.

http://help.eclipse.org/stable/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse. platform.doc.isv/guide/workbench_cmd.htm

In your AbstractHandler subclass, you can use
HandlerUtil.getCurrentSelection(..) to retrieve the current selection.

If you are using ActionDelegate, it looks like you could capture the
selection as it changes in selectionChanged(..)

Also the selection service may help you.
