George Gastaldi commented on FORGE-2585:
----------------------------------------
{{UISelection}} is the object responsible for selections in the UI. I think we could come
with an API improvement on top of that returning the cursor position/line/column number.
This object is reachable through {{UIContext}}.
You can check if the selected file is a XML or Java class by checking the {{Resource}}
instance returned with {{context.getSelection().get()}}.
Thoughts?
Allow to obtain the cursor position of the current active editor
window

Key: FORGE-2585
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/FORGE-2585
Project: Forge
Issue Type: Feature Request
Affects Versions: 3.0.0.Beta3
Reporter: Claus Ibsen
Fix For: 3.x Future
For background see:
https://github.com/fabric8io/fabric8/issues/5625
It would be great if a forge command can obtain information about what is the current
active window and the cursor position.
Essentially what we would like to know is that if the end user is currently editing a
file, such as java or xml, and if so, what is the current cursor position in that file, or
line number / column number etc.
Then the commands can use that to react accordingly. For example in fabric8 we want to be
able to find out if the cursor is positioned in a Camel route and then let the command be
smart to use that route etc.
