I'm looking for a way to find the IMethod, given the method name as input for developing my eclipse plugin further.

Couldn't figure out a way to do so.

can someone please direct me in the right path.

  • Method name is not unique, methods with same name can exist in the same class (overloading) or other classes. What else do you pass as input to your plug-in? Commented Feb 28, 2017 at 12:56
  • Thanks for the response. I can give the method name along with the parameters to differentiate from other methods Commented Mar 2, 2017 at 6:12

There can be two approaches:

  1. You can use the ASTVisitor pattern to visit the MethodDeclaration nodes, do a check for name and arguments, and get IMethod from them by resolving the binding. Refer the below posts:

  2. Get the ITypes from the compilation unit and loop through the IMethods, do check for name and arguments to find the required one.

    IType [] typeDeclarationList = unit.getTypes(); for (IType typeDeclaration : typeDeclarationList) { // Get methods under each type declaration. IMethod [] methodList = typeDeclaration.getMethods(); for (IMethod method : methodList) { // Logic here. } }
