Fire an event from a plugin

Hello Sergiy,

SD> Is there a way to fire an event in IDEA from a plugin? Something

SD> ActionManager.getInstance(project).fireEventById("EditorCopy");

What exactly do you want to do? "EditorCopy" is not an event.

If you want to execute an action programmatically, you can call ActionManager.getInstance().getAction(id).actionPerformed()
with a correct DataContext.

Sorry, I used word "event" but actually I was talking about "actions".
Thanks for understanding :)

Does this call have to be wrapped somehow? Runnable, CommandProcessor or something else?
Is there easy way to create DataContext?

I would like to trigger Code Completion in certain conditions from my plugin.
I checked StrutsAssist, but as far as I understand it uses a bit different strategy. It uses invoke method, and calls CodeCompletion directly.

Thanks.

No. The action itself will take care of the necessary commands, write actions
etc.

DataManager.getDataContext()
