Hi there,
I would like to have the concrete file path to the folder where all plugins
are stored in. I've tried bundle.getLocation(). But this gives me just the
name of the jar-file or the directory of my plugin. I would like to recieve
somthing like this : c:\programs\myApp\plugins\myplugin.jar
I hope you can help me with this.
regards,
micha

I have a feature which consists of 2 separate plugins (libary-plugin and
program-plugin). One plugin is just a container for all my libaries, which I
use in the program-plugin. Finally the libary-plugin should also include an
executable windows application (the application will run only on computers
with windows). I would like to call the executable application in the libary
plugin from my program-plugin with Runetime.getRuntime().exec(command). For
this I need the complete filepath to the plugin's directory. If you have a
better proposal I would be pleased to know about it.
kind regards,
micha
