Hello all,
I want to solve the following problem:
- I have a file (whatsnew.txt) which contains a history of updates for every
version of my RCP application
- at the moment, this file is in the application folder (when the
application is deployed) and is read by a BufferedReader (BufferedReader in
= new BufferedReader(new FileReader(pathFile));)
- when I use an update of the features of my application, the features and
plug-in's are updated, but I don't know how to make even the whatsnew.txt
file get updated by this mechanism.
So, I imagined this scenario:
- put the whatsnew.txt file inside the plug-in folder (together with
plugin.xml or plugin.properties, etc.)
- read this file, somehow, and get its content
The problem is: how can I read it, being inside the plug-in folder?
Any hint? Please, help!
Thank you,
Floppy

P.S. In other words, how to read a .txt file from the workspace? It's a .txt
file, not a .properties file...

I think you can use URI.createPlatformPlugin() if ur file is in the
install location and URI.createPlatformResource() if your file is in the
workspace.
hope this help you,

Assuming your file is inside the META-INF-Directory
Activator.getDefault().getBundle().getEntry("/META-INF/changelog.txt ").openStream();

Do you have any idea why this should happen?
