[news.eclipse.technology.higgins] Re: Problem Running Demo App and Savin

["Simon Chen" <jiaychen@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Paul,
thanks for the response.  I still cannot save my context information, and I 
think this is because I'm trying to run the demo app under Windows.

Bascially, in org.eclipse.higgins.context.store.ProjectFolder.java, the 
following function always returns null:

private static Resource associateResource(Object root, IFile ifile,
   ResourceSet rs) throws IOException {
  if (root == null)
   throw new IllegalArgumentException();
  if (debug)
   System.out.println("[debug]AssociateResource "
     + ifile.getFullPath().toString());
  // Get the URI of the model file.
  URI fileURI = URI.createPlatformResourceURI(ifile.getFullPath()
    .toString());
  // Create a resource for this file.
  Resource resource = rs.createResource(fileURI);
  // Add the initial model object to the contents.
  resource.getContents().add(root);
  return resource;
 }

The line "Resource resource=rs.createResource(fileURI);" always returns 
null, and fileURI has the value, for example, "/simon/Simon.context.xml".  I 
haven't tried on Linux, but I assume this fileURI works under Linux since 
it's a valid file path.  However, under Windows, how do I resolve the 
fileURI to the proper format such as "C:\\simon\\Simon\\context.xml"? 
What's the proper way of doing this conversion?

Thanks,
Simon
