I am creating an eclipse plugin which should deal with all opened projects inside Project explorer. It will create an file inside the selected project.
I am using the bellow logic to get the current project.
public IProject getCurrentProject() {
IProject project = null;
IWorkbenchWindow window = PlatformUI.getWorkbench()
.getActiveWorkbenchWindow();
if (window != null) {
ISelection iselection = window.getSelectionService().getSelection();
IStructuredSelection selection = (IStructuredSelection) iselection;
if (selection == null) {
return null;
}
Object firstElement = selection.getFirstElement();
if (firstElement instanceof IResource) {
project = ((IResource) firstElement).getProject();
} else if (firstElement instanceof PackageFragmentRoot) {
IJavaProject jProject = ((PackageFragmentRoot) firstElement)
.getJavaProject();
project = jProject.getProject();
} else if (firstElement instanceof IJavaElement) {
IJavaProject jProject = ((IJavaElement) firstElement)
.getJavaProject();
project = jProject.getProject();
}
}
return project;
}
This is working in the developer mode. But after I export as a plugin and install, the following error occurred.
org.eclipse.e4.core.di.InjectionException: java.lang.ClassCastException: org.eclipse.jface.text.TextSelection cannot be cast to org.eclipse.jface.viewers.IStructuredSelection
It looks like selection has switched to editor since it has been focused. Is there any universal way to get the current project?
