I would like to know the function implementing for Opening the Component.
Use Case: I know the UUID of component but I am not finding the method to open the component in the eclipse.

Probably because there never was a requirement to implement it. It is also consistently missing from the menu in the component editor. Feel free to create an enhancement request.


I am not aware if there is a URI for components that you could use to open it. There is no way to link a work item to a component either so it is hard to know how such an URI would look like.

Use Case: I know the UUID of component but I am not finding the method to open the component in the eclipse or in the web browser

How can I achieve this use case?

  1. You can create an enhancement request and hope it gets implemented.

    2. You can create a custom context menu that allows to use the UUID to search the component and open the editor. See
    3. You can create a context menu on the component and copy the URI, if you know how to create it. Then you might be able to use the Navigate in the Eclipse UI.

If you are writing Java (and have the component as you say) and want to open the Component editor, you can use:

ComponentWrapper wrapper = new ComponentWrapper(repo, component);
ComponentEditorInput input = ComponentEditorInput.newForEdit(ComponentWrapper componentWrapper);
ComponentEditor.open(page, input);

Related to the 'Copy URL' action, this is simply a case of not having enough strong requirements in the past to implement such an action. You can open an RFE or enhancement if you really need one.

Otherwise, if you are writing your own code, you could have craft such a url as shown below:
