Issue
Inside an Eclipse plugin, I'd like to open a file in editor.
I know the full package and class name
How can I determine the path of the .java file from this?
Solution
Take a look at IJavaProject.findType( name ) method. Once you have an IType, you can use getPath or getResource methods to locate the file. This method searches across a project and everything visible from that project.
To search the whole workspace, iterate through all the Java projects in the workspace, calling the findType method on each in turn.
