Creating quick fix extension for Eclipse Below i am listing the steps needed for creating quick fix extensions in eclipse . I am assuming that the problem has already been registered with eclipse 1.Create a marker type with extension point org.eclipse.core.resources.markers 2.Extend the org.eclipse.ui.ide.markerResolution extension point and create a markerresolutiongenerator . 3.add the marker type while creating the validation error in the code . 4.Create a class resolution generator implements IMarkerResolutionGenerator and register it to plugin while extending the extension point markerResolution . 5.In the function getResolutions(IMarker marker) return a new object which implements IMarkerResolution2 . 6.In the run function do the necessary work . 7.Use other methods such as getDescription() etc to make ur quick fix more informative
