George Gastaldi commented on FORGE-2585:
----------------------------------------
How about having a method like:
{{T getSelectedRegionFor(Resource)}} and it could return a child element of the given
resource ({{MethodSource}}, {{FieldSource}} when the resource is a {{JavaResource}} or
{{Node}} if element is a {{XMLResource}} or even a {{String}} with the selected
contents)?
I am thinking on how useful would this API change be to make it easier for your code
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.
