How to create ICompilationUnit from source [message #204459]

Fri, 20 May 2005 15:49

Eclipse User

Hi all,

I'd like to create an ICompilationUnit instance from either
- source code as String or
- source code as IDOMCompilationUnit

I've checked the Eclipse source code, but couldn't find a way to achieve
this. Any ideas?

You can use: IPackageFragment#createCompilationUnit(String, String, ...)
Note this is the first topic of 'Manipulating Java code' of the JDT Programmer's Guide in Help.

It's not that I didn't know that...
My problem is a bit more tricky, though. Our Swing application is running
outside Eclipse i.e. it's not a plugin. Still, I would like to invoke
Eclipse' "Organize imports" feature for a given String that represents a
Java class.

Sorry. Invoking org.eclipse.jdt.core code outside a running Eclipse instance is not supported.
