Hi,

I am trying to develop my first plug-in.
The plug-in should manipulate the content of the selected text in the active text editor.

I started with the “hello world” example from the “Cheat sheet” which worked perfect.
When tried to modify I found that project not recognizing many types.

I added the following jars to the project build path libraries:

* org.eclipse.jface.text_3.5.1.r351_v20090708-0800.jar
* org.eclipse.text_3.5.0.v20090513-2000.jar
* org.eclipse.ui.editors_3.5.0.v20090527-2000.jar

Now code compiles perfect.

   1. ISelection iSelection = null;
   2. IEditorSite iEditorSite = window.getActivePage().getActiveEditor().getEditorSite();
   3. if (iEditorSite != null) {
   4. ISelectionProvider iSelectionProvider = iEditorSite.getSelectionProvider();
   5. if (iSelectionProvider != null)
   6.   {
   7.    iSelection = iSelectionProvider.getSelection();
   8.    [b]selectedText = ((ITextSelection)iSelection).getText();[/b]
   9.   }
  10. }

The problem is in line 08. although eclipse recognize the ITextSelection interface, at runtime I get cannot resolve type exception. When trying to deploy the code I get the following line in the deploy log: The import org.eclipse.jface.text cannot be resolved
