Description _ pkuzel 2003-10-06 09:45:35 UTC 
I would like programatically access current
position in Java editor. I'm interested in
semantics access:

   String string = "";
   string.toString|();  // | = caret position

returns something like:

  toString method in String class

We have JMManager.getElementByOffset() which seems to do exactly what
you need. However, this is not a public API. We should publish it in 4.1.

Fixed in issue #59339. 
Resource.getElementByOffset() is now available in API.
