simple type name -> fully-qualified type name? [message #825]

I have a code-generation use case where

0 I want the user to be able to enter a possibly-simple type name (e.g.
"String") in one UI

1 I capture the result in a data structure

2 at generation time I want to be able to lookup the best matching
fully-qualified type name (e.g. "java.lang.String")

I.e. I want to provide headlessly the Open Type dialog's search
functionality. My user's input would be handled like Open Type handles
the contents of the "Choose a type" Text (at the top of the dialog);
I would use for my result the first element in the "Matching types"
(Qualifier + simple name).

How to do this? I've been browsing the code, but I can't find what
handles the events for the "Choose a type" Text. Can anyone point me
to the method(s)?

I believe the code is in
AbstractElementListSelectionDialog#createFilterText(Composit e) in the
listener that sets the filter for the filtered list (line 408).

Use
'new SearchEngine().searchAllTypeNames(..)'
to search for all types with a given simple name.

That's where the 'Open Type' dialog gets its entries from.
