Hi, I've found a very little bug, but I don't know what to do.
Since I'm new to plugin development, I'm not 100% sure that it is a bug or
I've done an error, and I don't want to mae an Eclipse developer waste his
time because I reported a fake error.
Everithing that is foolowing in this post is in my VERY HUMBLE opinion
The error is in the class
org.eclipse.ui.texteditor.AbstractDecoratedTextEditor and affect the
method gotoMarker(IMarker);
(next to last row of method ):
if (end - 1 < length && start < length)
The error IMHO is that '-1'. I've found that the goto works if start==end
(this means that it is a simple move of the caret, while start!=end means
a goto+text selection
However, the -1 prevents the goto to go to the end of the file (I needed
in my plugin to open an editor at the end of a file so the user can start
appending text without any other keystroke)
Should I post a bug to bugzilla, or even put a patch? Is there any
official reference about eclipse contributing, may you provide link?
thanks
Alex

Alex,
It sounds like a bug to be able to move anywhere except past the last
character. Your description is simple enough that a bugzilla with this
information should be sufficient. Because the fix is also trivial, a
patch shouldn't make a significant difference. The getting involved
link on this page doesn't provide much help
http://www.eclipse.org/users/
Perhaps there's a better one, but it's not easy to find...
