Running Extract Method Refactoring from an other plugin

[selmadjiAnfel]

• Plugin: Extract Method Refactoring

• IDE name and version: Eclipse mars

• Java version: 1.8

• OS name and version: ubunto 14.04

• What are you trying to do?
  I am developing a plugin in which the first step is to extract new methods. My plugin determines the sequence of statements to be extracted as a new method. I want to know, please, how can I run the extract method operation from my plugin.

• What would you expect to happen?
  I expect that my plugin determines the sequence of statements to be extracted and then use the extract method operation to extract a new method.

• What happens?

Can you help me please. I read about ExtractMethodAction (http://help.eclipse.org/neon/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.jdt.doc.isv%2Freference%2Fapi%2Forg%2Feclipse%2Fjdt%2Fui%2Factions%2FExtractMethodAction.html) but I do not know how to use it. Thank you.
