Get the fullpath of current file in Eclipse Plugin - FileEditorInput not found

Question

I'm trying to get the path of the current open file in Eclipse.

I tried to use this portion of code:

import org.eclipse.ui.IWorkbench;
import org.eclipse.ui.IWorkbenchPage;
import org.eclipse.ui.IWorkbenchWindow;
import org.eclipse.ui.IEditorPart;
import org.eclipse.ui.IEditorInput;
import org.eclipse.ui.part.FileEditorInput;
import org.osgi.framework.Bundle;

IWorkbench wb = PlatformUI.getWorkbench();
IWorkbenchWindow window = wb.getActiveWorkbenchWindow();
IWorkbenchPage page = window.getActivePage();
IEditorPart editor = page.getActiveEditor();
IEditorInput input = editor.getEditorInput();
IPath path = ((FileEditorInput)input).getPath();

but the problem is that I get the compile error

FileEditorInput cannot be resolved to a type

How could I resolve this problem?

Irrespective of your problem, you should use `input.getAdapter( IFile.class )` if you want to know which `IFile` is being edited. This also covers cases where another editor input than `IFileEditorInput` is used to represent an `IFile`. `getAdapter()` will return `null` if the current editor input has no file. — Rüdiger Herrmann, Dec 15 '15 at 12:12
@RüdigerHerrmann The error is: FileEditorInput cannot be resolved to a type. — Roberto Remondini, Dec 15 '15 at 12:20
@greg-449 if I use IFileEditorInput instead of FileEditorInput doesn't change anything. I also read about this solution but for me doesn't working — Roberto Remondini, Dec 15 '15 at 12:21
@JorgeS.Cortez I tried the solution that you suggest. I have not error in this case but it doesn't print nothing. Maybe because my program is a plugin and I run it as "Eclipse Application" ? — Roberto Remondini, Dec 15 '15 at 12:22
`IFileEditorInput` is exported by `org.eclipse.ui.ide`. Did you declare a dependency on this plug-in? — Rüdiger Herrmann, Dec 15 '15 at 12:28
This code has to be in a plugin so that is not the problem. 'Cannot be resolved as a type' usually means you are missing dependencies in your MANIFEST.MF — greg-449, Dec 15 '15 at 12:31
@RüdigerHerrmann Yes, I added the dependencies of org.eclipse.ui.ide in my MANIFEST.MF — Roberto Remondini, Dec 15 '15 at 12:41
... and the version range matches the one of the plug-in in your target platform? — Rüdiger Herrmann, Dec 15 '15 at 13:39
@RüdigerHerrmann I don't know how check this. Meanwhile I found what to import: org.eclipse.ui.part.FileEditorInput; but how can see the filepath? I tried print or save it in a file but I haven't anything in output — Roberto Remondini, Dec 15 '15 at 18:56
I am trying to print path.toString() or path.getName(), but their value was null — Roberto Remondini, Dec 16 '15 at 12:44

Finalmente ce l'ho fatta.

ecco il codice funzionante:

import org.eclipse.ui.IFileEditorInput;
import org.eclipse.ui.IWorkbench;
import org.eclipse.ui.IWorkbenchPage;
import org.eclipse.ui.IWorkbenchWindow;
import org.eclipse.ui.IEditorPart;
import org.eclipse.ui.IEditorInput;
import org.osgi.framework.Bundle;


IWorkbench wb = PlatformUI.getWorkbench();
IWorkbenchWindow window = wb.getActiveWorkbenchWindow();
IWorkbenchPage page = window.getActivePage();
IEditorPart editor = page.getActiveEditor();
IEditorInput input = editor.getEditorInput();
IPath path = ((IFileEditorInput)input).getFile().getFullPath();
File myFile = path.toFile();
