Where (if possible) can I get the source code of the java editor plugin. I Ask this cause I am developing an IDE for Eclipse and I need to see how does Java editor handles the context information in content assist and others things.
Tks for your time,

Depending on which Eclipse package you downloaded you may already have the source. Look in Help > About Eclipse (Eclipse > About Eclipse on Macs) and click Installation Details. In the 'Installed Software' tab check for 'Eclipse SDK' - if you have this the source is installed.
If you don't have the source you can install it from the SDK update site for your Release - http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.3 for Eclipse 4.3 (Kepler). Install Eclipse SDK.
Once you have the source installed go to Preferences > Plug-in Development and check the Include all plug-ins from target in Java search option (this is assuming you do not have a separate target platform). Once this is set searches for Java classes and menu options such as Navigate > Open Type will find classes in the Eclipse source as well as your source.
The Java editor is in the org.eclipse.jdt.ui plugin - org.eclipse.jdt.internal.ui.javaeditor.CompilationUnitEditor. Be warned that this is very complex code!
