would require creating an abstraction layer on top of AST nodes 
and make the selection computation work on that
(it currently works on raw ASTs)

it's an enhancement request

between step 4 and 5:
4.5) select lines up to an empty line 

Comment 3 Dirk Baeumer 2003-06-10 07:03:39 EDT

Depends on extended positions on ASTNodes.

Comment 4 Dirk Baeumer 2004-04-27 08:11:02 EDT

Not for 3.0.

In this example:
	public void f(int i, int j, Vector v) {
		bla("foo");

                // Commenting this next section.
		String a= "aa<CURSOR>aa";
		foo(a, 1);

	}

1)  select string contents aaaa
2)  select string token
3)  expression
4)  entire line
4a) entire paragraph
4b) entire paragraph including comment
5)  all lines inside block
6)  method body
