Within an eclipse plugin I am trying to create a pop up window that activates within an editor and adds syntax to a string depending on the selection chosen in the pop up window. I have an editor class that extends AbstractTextEditor and within it I am trying to use a keylistener to pop up a window that contains a list of string manipulation functions and then when an item in the list is selected I want to replace some selected content with the new string returned from the method in the pop up window. When I attempt to do this (with the code in the 2 linked files), I receive the error below:

It seems that when autoupdate class tries to inform the editor class that a change has been selected it cannot manipulate the styledText variable. Does anyone know how to fix this?
The two files that contain this code can be reviewed at these links: http://www.filedropper.com/markdowneditor http://www.filedropper.com/autocomplete
