Eclipse plugin - getting the IStackframe object from a selection in DebugView - eclipse

Question

So, this is the problem I am stuck at for a few weeks.
I am developing an Eclipse plugin which fills in a View with custom values depending on a particular StackFrame selection in the Debug View.
In particular, I want to listen to the stackframe selected and would like to get the underlying IStackFrame object.
However, I have tried more than a dozen things and all of them have failed. So I tried adding DebugContextListener to get the DebugContextEvent and finally the selection. However, the main issue is that ISelection doesn't return the underlying IStackFrame object. It instead returns an object of type AbstractDMVMNode.DMVMContext. I tried getting an adapter but that didn't work out too. I posted this question sometime back also:
Eclipse Plugin Dev- Extracting IStackFrame object from selection in Debug View
Since then, I have tried out many different approaches. I tried adding IDebugEventSetListener (but this failed as it cannot identify stack frame selection in the debug view).
I tried adding an object contribution action but this too was pointless as it ultimately returned me an ISelection which is useless as it only returns me an object of class AbstractDMVMNode.DMVMContext and not IStackframe.
Moreover, I checked out the implementation of the VariablesView source code itself in the org.eclipse.debug.ui plugin. It looks like a few versions back (VariablesView source code in version 3.2), the underlying logic was to use the ISelection and get the IStackFrame. All the other resources on the internet also advocate the same. However, now, this scheme no longer works as ISelection doesn't return you an IStackFrame. Also, the source code for the latest eclipse Debug plugin (which doesn't use this scheme) was not very intuitive for me.
Can anyone tell how I should proceed ? Is hacking the latest Eclipse source code for VariablesView my only option ? This doesn't look like a good design practice and I believe there should be a much more elegant way of doing this.
PS: I have tried all the techniques and all of them return an ISelection. So, if your approach too return the same thing, then it is most likely incorrect.
Edit (Code snippet for trying to adapt the ISelection):
// Following is the listener implemnetation
IDebugContextListener flistener = new IDebugContextListener() {
#Override
public void debugContextChanged(DebugContextEvent event) {
if ((event.getFlags() & DebugContextEvent.ACTIVATED) > 0) {
contextActivated(event.getContext());
}
};
};
// Few things I tried in the contextActivated Method
//Attempt 1 (Getting the Adapter):
private void contextActivated(ISelection context) {
if (context instanceof StructuredSelection) {
Object data = ((StructuredSelection) context).getFirstElement();
if( data instanceof IAdaptable){
System.out.println("check1");
IStackFrame model = (IStackFrame)((IAdaptable)data).getAdapter(IStackFrame.class);
if(model != null){
System.out.println("success" + model.getName());
}
}
}
}
// Attemp2 (Directly getting it from ISelection):
private void contextActivated(ISelection context) {
if (context instanceof StructuredSelection) {
System.out.println("a");
Object data = ((StructuredSelection) context).getFirstElement();
if (data instanceof IStackFrame) {
System.out.println("yes");
} else {
System.out.println("no" + data.getClass().getName());
}
}
// This always execute the else and it prints: org.eclipse.cdt.dsf.ui.viewmodel.datamodel.AbstractDMVMNode.DMVMContext
}
// Attemp3 (Trying to obtain it from the viewer (similiar to object action binding in some ways):
private void contextActivated(ISelection context) {
VariablesView variablesView = (VariablesView) PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActivePage().findView(IDebugUIConstants.ID_VARIABLE_VIEW);
if (variablesView != null) {
Object input = ((TreeViewer) variablesView.getViewer()).getInput();
if(input != null) System.out.println(input.getClass().getName());
if (input instanceof IStackFrame) {
System.out.println("success");
} else if (input instanceof IThread) {
System.out.println("success");
try {
IStackFrame[] stackFrames = ((IThread) input).getStackFrames();
for (IStackFrame iStackFrame : stackFrames) {
printVariables(iStackFrame);
}
} catch (DebugException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}
While I am building this view to work with both JDT & CDT, I am testing it out on the C project. So, this might be the reason why I always get the returned object type as AbstractDMVMNode.DMVMContext. Should my implementation be different to handle both these cases ? I believe I should be building a generic view. Also, if AbstractDMVMNode.DMVMContext is CDT specific, I should I go about implementing it for the CDT case?
