Never mind. I think I figured it out.
I can do the following:

String namespace = configElem.getDeclaringExtension().getNamespace();

URL url = "">
URL resolveURL =Platform.resolve(url);
String pluginPath = resolveURL.getPath();

Hi,

I had the following code:

IConfigurationElement configElem = ....
                       
try {
        String pluginPath = Platform.resolve(configElem.getDeclaringExtension().getDeclaringPluginDescriptor().getInstallURL()).getPath();
        ....
}

getDeclaringPluginDescriptor() on IExtension is deprecated, and
getInstallURL() on IPluginDescriptor is deprecated.

What is the alternate way to do what I am doing?

Thanks in advance,

Rajeev
