Plugins - How can I access files during development and deploy [message #64448]

I am trying to access a template file during development of my plugin. This
is being done in the wizard class openContentStream method. Here is what I
am currently doing:

URL url = new URL(MMEPlugin.getDefault().getDescriptor().getInstallURL(),
fileName);

return MMEPlugin.getDefault().openStream(new Path(url.getPath()));

Now that would give me the correct information if my plugin was deployed. I
have also tried

MMEPlugin.getDefault().getDescriptor().getPlugin().getStateL ocation()

which gives me the location to the runtime-workspace. But this does not
have my files in it.

Any ideas? Im new to plugin development.

thx,

dave

He.

If you are looking for a specific file resident in your plugin's install
directory, you would do like this:

URL url = MMEPlugin.getDefault().find(new Path(fileName));

Good Luck,
Emil
