I would like to get a file during development of a plugin. I would like to
read the contents of this file during the wizard create file (for my type).
The problem is I dont know how to obtain the reference to this file in an
abstract way so as to work during dev time and deployed time. I am in my
method openContentStream of my Wizard. Here is what I am doing now.
URL url = new URL(MMEPlugin.getDefault().getDescriptor().getInstallURL(),
fileName);
return MMEPlugin.getDefault().openStream(new Path(url.getPath()));
thx,
dave

Why not just use url.openStream(), that should work both in development
or in runtime. Assuming that in development the file is in the same
project in the root of that project that the plugin.xml is in.

I guess my real problem is not opening the file but rather obtaining the
location of my file.

Pay particular attention to the stmt in wiki that the resolved location
MAY NOT BE LOCAL.
That is why I suggested using url.openStream(). The URL does not need to
be resolved in that case, and it will work whether the file is local or not.
You were using the correct mechanism to find the URL for the file, you
just shouldn't try get the path from it for your purposes.
