You will need to extract all the relevent
files from the jarred bundle.  Look at using java.util.ZipFile.  An
example of PDE extracting content from jarred plug-ins can be found in
PluginImportHelper.java inside org.eclipse.pde.ui

Hi,
 
I have implemented my own action
to provide the local help files which are bundled in the same plug-in.
When user clicks on Help menu,
my action class will be called, it tries to find-out the starting help
file(index.HTML) and load in configured browser.
Here I'm providing code snippet
below:
Bundle bundle = Platform.getBundle
(app.test.Activator.PLUGIN_ID);
URL url = "" ("/help/index.html");
URL fileURL = FileLocator.toFileURL (url);
final URI uri = new URI (fileURL.getProtocol
(), fileURL.getPath (), null);
desktop.browse (uri);
It loads the index file however
links provided index.HTML won't work, I found the reason that, application
will extract only index.HTML to local file system from the bundle however
it won't extract other help files i.e. entire 'help' folder to be extracted.
 
I need to extract all help
files to local file system, if any one have solution please suggest me.
 
Regards
Venkat._______________________________________________
