relative path inside a plugin [message #326471]

Hi everyone,

this is actually a repost from the eclipse.pde. sorry for this, but I'm
really eager to get the answer.

I have a question about "how to specify a relative path for a file in the
plugin".

the situation looks like the following:
I have a ontology file ont.owl in my Plugin P1. Now in some class of P1,
in order to access ont.owl, I used absolute paths. But this Path is
different on others' machine. And absolute path became problematic on
differnt machines.

So my question: How should I access this ont.owl inside P1, using a
relative path.
any idea how to achieve this?

best regards!
Jinhui

Hi Jinhui,

you can use the following piece of code:

Bundle plugin;
URL entry;
InputStream stream;

plugin=Platform.getBundle(<PLUGIN_ID>);
entry=plugin.getEntry(<RELATIVE_PATH_TO_FILE>);

stream=url.openStream();

I hope this could help you.
