Normally, this code is used for converting from File to IFile:
IWorkspace workspace= ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace(); IPath location= Path.fromOSString(file.getAbsolutePath()); IFile ifile= workspace.getRoot().getFileForLocation(location); But this only works for java files within the project. How can I get the IFile when File file is not in the workspace (not in the project)?

I am converting using following code. file = ifile. getFullPath(). toFile();
Click on your open project in either the Project Explorer or Package Explorer windows. Then File/Copy (or Ctrl-C), then immediately File/Paste (or Ctrl-V). Your'll get a wizard to save the project under a new name. oh my word.
IResource and its child IFile were originally meant to be used only for resources located in the workspace. See the Javadoc for IResource.
However, since Eclipse 3.3 there is support for external files as well, see this Eclipse Wiki page.

I needed this for using the Binding Resolutions from the Eclipse AST framework. But apparently, this is not possible - for anyone who need it, check this site:
