[news.eclipse.pde] Re: how to access a file in Plugin at runtime

[laurent Goubet <laurent.goubet@xxxxxxx>]

Jinhui,

ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace().getRoot().getFile(new Path(filepath)) can 
do what you seek, with filepath being a String relative to the workspace 
root (i.e. of the form '/' + pluginName + '/' + path).

An other option would be to use 
Platform.getBundle(pluginID).getEntry(filepath) with filepath being a 
path relative to the plugin root.

Cheers,
