[news.eclipse.tools] Re: Problems with getInstallURL()

[Vlad Klicnik <klicnik@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The use of the "eclipse" scheme is not documented as API. You should always access
files in the plugin directory by obtaining the plugin directory "base" URL and then
creating a URL for the actual file access relative to this.

IPluginDescriptor pd = ... ;
URL base = pd.getInstallURL();
URL myfile = new URL(base,"myfile.txt");
InputStream is = myfile.openStream();
...
