I also checked in documentation, there is no method like getSelectionText() in SWT browser.

Answer 1

you could achieve this by executing java script function in the browser from your View.Write a java script to get the selection the text and execute it in the browser. Look at the Browser API:

browser.execute(script);
browser.evaluate(script);

Look at BrowserFunction interface for java-javascript call back mechanism
