Eclipse Plugin for reading Java code of current project

I want to make an eclipse plugin which can analyze java code in the current project and display it in the editor.

Scenario:

On right-clicking the java file inside eclipse, I want my plugin option to be seen (which is successfully done) and on clicking it, an editor should open with the contents of that particular java file.

I am stuck at opening the java file and reading its contents. I think the org.eclipse.jface.text can be of help. For editor support, I am using org.eclipse.ui.editors.

How to proceed with reading the contents of particular java file that has been right clicked ?

I am new to eclipse plugin development. Any help is highly appreciated.

I solved the problem even better way than expected.

In the handler class's execute method , I used IWorkspace and IWorkspaceRoot from org.eclipse.core.resources package.

IWorkspace workspace = ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace();
IWorkspaceRoot root = workspace.getRoot();

From above code, I had access to each and every resource of the current workspace. I fetched the project using IJavaProject and filtered java files from the resources.
