Re: [jdt-dev] Retrieving, instantiating an IType
|
Liam,
The search engine is the way to go. You can just give it null for a
Progress Monitor if it's not communicating with a GUI.
Instantiating an object of that type might be a challenge: there's no
guarantee that the class is on Eclipse's own classpath. Why are you
trying to do this?

I'd like to go from a fully-qualified class name and retrieve an
object of type IType. The class name could be any class within the
classpath, or any Java class in any project. The class name is
supplied as a string. What's the easiest way to get that? I was
looking through the SearchEngine class, but I'm not sure what to
supply for a progress monitor etc... I'm not looking to use this with
the UI.
After retrieving an IType, I'd like to instantiate an object of that
type. Should I go through the java reflection api, or is there some
proper Eclipse way of doing this that I'm not aware of?
