How can I get the position of the caret in the currently selected editor window |
|

You need to first get the selected node (which if the Editor is selected, should correspond to the file being edited); get the most recent editor pane open on it; and then access the caret:
Node[] n = TopComponent.getRegistry().getActivatedNodes();
if (n.length == 1) {
EditorCookie ec = (EditorCookie) n[0].getCookie(EditorCookie.class);
if (ec != null) {
JEditorPane[] panes = ec.getOpenedPanes();
if (panes.length > 0) {
int cursor = panes[0].getCaret().getDot();
String selection = panes[0].getSelectedText();
// USE selection
}
}
}
