Access relative path from eclipse-plugin

Question

Does anyone know how to get a file with uri from a self-made Eclipse Plug-in?

Absolute paths would be no problem:

URI.createFileURI("C:/Users/hp/workspace(dke)/SMartGen/StarSchema.profile.uml");

But how do I access local resources relatively?

URI.createFileURI("jar:file:/%ECLIPSE_HOME%/plugins/SMartGen.jar!StarSchema.profile.uml");

doesn't work this way....

Happy for every answer.

Answer 1

Use the FileLocator.

Example:

URL iconUrl = FileLocator.find(Platform.getBundle("myBundle"), new Path("icons/someIcon.png"), null);

This will get the URL of a file "someIcon.png" that is located in the "icons" folder in the bundle "myBundle".
