Loading a non-properties files from a fragment into and editor [message #326093]

I have a html file that is translated and its translated copies reside in
my plugin fragment. I need to open it in an editor. The English version of
the file is at the root of my plugin. Currently I am using this code to
locat the file url, where relativePath is the file name:

public URL getURLFromFragment(relativePath){
Bundle bundle = Platform.getBundle(MY_PLUGIN_ID);
try{
IPath path = new Path("$nl$/"+relativePath);
URL url = FileLocator.find(bundle, path, null);
return url;
}
catch (Exception exc) {
exc.printStackTrace();
return null;
}

}

Then I instantiate my editor input class, a subclass of IPathEditorInput,
with a Path object built from the url returned my method above like:

myEditorInput editor = new myEditorInput(new
Path(getURLFromFragment("myFileName")));

This currently only opens the English version of the file! Anyone has any
idea why? Do I need to read in the file as an inputStream and then somehow
display it. I am thinking something must be wrong with how I am
instantiating my editor input class.

Any help is truly appreciated...

Lila,

What does the folder structure in your plugin for the translated
versions look like? Did you use the -nl flag to direct Eclipse to use a
different locale?

I actually put the translated files under a nl\local directory structure
like this in the NL fragment plugin:

nl\de\myfile.html
nl\es\myfile.html
nl\zh\hk\myfile.html
..
..
..

I know that you can place the files at the root of the fragment like
myfile_zh_hk.html, myfile_de.html, etc.

Lila,

You might need to specify your path as "nl/$NL$/myfile.html. I'm not
really exactly sure the specific naming conventions that are followed.
Have you tried stepping with the debugger through the lookup logic to
see where it all searches for the path you've provided?
