[jdt-core-dev] Finding an IType

[Philippe Faes <Philippe.Faes@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I'm writing a plug-in that wants to get an IType (reference to a Class
in my project) from a string (e.g. "Ljava.lang.Integer;" or
"Lorg.somewhere.MyClass;"). How do I do that?

I got this far, but I think I'm stuck:

String name="Ljava.lang.Integer;";
SearchPattern searchPattern = (SearchPattern)
SearchEngine.createSearchPattern(name,
            IJavaSearchConstants.CLASS,
            IJavaSearchConstants.DECLARATIONS,
            true);

What can I do with this searchPattern? The method findIndexMatches
requires a lot of objects, but how do I construct them?

thanks

PhF
