Hi John,
Thank you for your reply. I am
trying to use the API as you suggested, but am not able to get a path. In fact
the getProject returns me a project even when the project does not exist.
I just realized that I should not
be accessing the resource as a file path, because if the plugin is deployed as a
jar, then the jar would need to be extracted to a temp location for the absolute
path to be valid.
Is there a better way to access a
resource contained in a plugin folder?
Regards Praveen.
Maybe
this will give you some hints as to which API to look into:
IProject
project =
ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace().getRoot().getProject(best_project_match);
IPath
as_specific_as_possible = source_path;
if (project.exists()) {
iseg++; // skip project name
IPath resourcePath =
source_path.removeFirstSegments(iseg);
IResource resource =
project.findMember(resourcePath);
as_specific_as_possible =
resource.getLocation();
if (as_specific_as_possible == null)
{
as_specific_as_possible = path; // someone lied
}
} // else
not in workspace
If you really want a URL, then try something
like
path.toFile().toURI().toURL();
