	I need to know the paths of JavaElements that has been deleted.

	IJavaElement.getUnderlyingResource throws a JavaModelException if the underlying resource does not exist.
	IResources are handles, so why not return a resource, even it does not exist? Let me do the 'exists' test, if I need it.

	Maybe an unchecked Accessor could be added.

Deferring, please reopen if it is necessary before 2.0
Comment 3 Martin Aeschlimann CLA 2002-02-13 03:57:39 EST 
There is now code in our plugin that does the same thing. It works, but not 
very efficient, so it would be nice to have.

I would also be happy with IJavaElement.getCorrespondingPath(), which might be 
an even better idea.
I saw the code for this in jdt.core's JavaSearchScope.add(IJavaElement element)

There are other API requests (incoperate JavaModelUtil into jdt.core) with are 
a _must_ for 2.0 (my opinion).
Comment 4 Jerome Lanneluc CLA 2002-03-28 07:15:36 EST 
Will add IJavaElement.getResource() that will always succeed (even if the 
underlying resource doesn't exist) or return null for external jar.
Will also add IJavaElement.getCorrespondingPath().
Comment 5 Jerome Lanneluc CLA 2002-04-08 07:16:20 EDT 
Added IJavaElement.getResource() and IJavaElement.getPath().
