Hi,all:
I want to read a file which exists in plugin's root directory.How to
decide the file's path when runtime? By using
getBundle().getResource("fileName") i can get URL ,but is it the only way?
How can i get the absolute path?

Stephen.

If you get the URL, you can get it's input stream. You can use that,
bridge it to InputStreamReader, etc.

If you really want the file, then you can use Platform.asLocalURL(*)
(which has been deprecated in 3.2 and replaced with
FileLocator#toFileURL(*)). But if the plugin was a jar, it will extract
the file into a temporary location.

Later,
