Thanks Tom,
Yes this works. :)
FileLocator.resolve(Platform.getBundle("UCSIM").getResource("Profile/Profile.uml2"));
gives me the exact path of the
resource, however I am not sure why it adds '/' in the beginning of the
path.
Regards Praveen.
Hi,
why
don't you simple call
----------8<----------
InputStream in =
Platform.getBundle("com.my.plugin").getResource("my.file").open();
----------8<----------

Maybe this will give you some hints as to which API to look into:
