What's return *toContainer*? If the last method return the *project*
in which the file exist, are you sure that it's the correct project?
The following code is an example to my implementation.

        IWorkspace workspace = ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace(); 
        IWorkspaceRoot root = workspace.getRoot();
        if (root.getProjects()!=null && root.getProjects().length>0)
        {
            //
            for (int i=0; i<root.getProjects().length;i++)
            {
                //
                try
                {
                    if (root.getProjects()[i].isOpen())
                    {
                        root.getProjects()[i].open(null);
                    }
                       root.getProjects()[i].getFile(...);
                }
                catch (CoreException e)
                {
                    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                    e.printStackTrace();
//                }
            }
        }
