example: c:\project\test\projectName
someone has some code that explains how to complete I get the project name or full path of a particular project in my workspace?

Eclipse defines an extension point "org.eclipse.ui.navigator.linkHelper"
If you contribute a class to these EP you have to implement ILinkHelper
The ILInkHelper interface notifies you, when something was selected in the explorer
- public void activateEditor(IWorkbenchPage aPage, IStructuredSelection aSelection)
You can check the type of the selection
if (aSelection.getFirstElement() instanceof IFile) {
// Do something
}

Old memories but maybe useful for you. I guess package explorer provides its selection, so you can get the current selection in your code by calling:
ISelectionService service = getSite().getWorkbenchWindow().getSelectionService()
than you can get the package explorer view by its id (plugin.xml for more details):
IStructuredSelection selection = (IStructuredSelection) service.getSelection("org.eclipse.jdt.ui.PackageExplorer");
Please note AFAIK you can always safely cast ISelection to IStructuredSelection. Then call structured.getFirstElement() and I think the first element will be an IFile object. I hope my "pseudo code" whould be enough for you. And IFile has lots of usefule methods for your convenience

1`getFirstElement()` will return an IProject if that is what is selected. – Paul Webster Oct 27 '11 at 12:32
