[news.eclipse.tools] Inserting into a file

[bob.donovan@xxxxxxxx (Bob Donovan)]

Hi,

I need to have some code automatically inserted into a source file that I
am managing with a custom editor. Is there a recommended way to do this.
My plan is to scan the file, find the appropriate place to insert, insert
the text into the file.

One way that I have figure out how to do this, is to get the contents from
the IFile, convert to a string, then to a StringBuffer, insert the text,
covert the StringBuffer to a InputStream, then call
IFile.setContents(InputStream).

Seems like a lot of work, but its the only way I could figure it out so
far. Does anyone have any suggestions? Do this procedure destroy any
markers that are present on the file? Is there are better way?
