How to get fully qualified class name from IResource object?

Question

I have the IResource object of a Java class. I need to get the fully qualified class name from this object.

My IResource.getFullPath().toString() gives me /myProject/src/abc/def/Myclass.java . I want to get abc.def.Myclass from it.

How can I get the fully qualified class name?

Answer 1

Not sure if you want the fully qualified class name or the fully qualified location in the file system. I'll mention both:

Class name:

((IType) JavaCore.create(iFile)).getFullyQualifiedName()

Also, make sure to check for nulls and instanceof.

Resource location:

iFile.getLocation()

Answer 2

package abc.def;

public class MyClass {
    public void displayName() {
       System.out.println(this.class.getCanonicalName());// adc.def.MyClass
    };
};
