Plugin Design - How to create plugin opening java sources at given location? dinosaurus - Apr 24, 2008 - 04:20 AM Post subject: How to create plugin opening java sources at given location?
I have external Java application which is executed from Eclipse IDE in a separate process. The application is used for running some tests and the user can observe stack traces inside the application. I need to have the possibility of opening Java source code in Eclipse corresponding to a selected stack trace element in my application.
As I understand I need to create some plug-in in Eclipse which could receive commands from my external application (e.g. through JMX) for opening source code. However Eclipse may already have some generic support for such management possibility.
Is there any recommended approach for solving such problem? Are there any examples and information sources? What would you adviced?
