You don't actually need the code, just get the occurrences directly... You
can use them through the java API getting the occurrences directly, or get
them from the cache I store them (at the editor)....

So to get the annotations:
from com.python.pydev import PydevPlugin
editor.cache.get(PydevPlugin.ANNOTATIONS_CACHE_KEY) --> will return you a
List<Annotation>

To get the Position of the Annotation, you can do:
annotationModel =3D editor.getDocumentProvider().getAnnotationModel(
editor.getEditorInput())
annotationModel.getPosition(annotation)

Cheers,

Fabio
