Fragment Project as a resource project [message #522580]

Hi,

I know fragment is used for language and platform specific codes. I just want to ask if I can also used it to stored my resources, like images, text files etc.

For example, I have a plugin that used an image, that image will be stored in the fragment say in the res directory. Unfortunately, when I invoked the code:

Activator.getImageDescriptor("res/alt_about.gif").createImage();
//it throws java.lang.NullPointerException

I thought the fragment would share the host plugin's Activator but it seems it can't find the res folder.

BTW, I've also included the res folder in the fragment's Build Configuration

Thanks,
czetsuya

It does work. Double check that you include the resources folder,ie. res in your case, in your build.properties file for the binary build. You said that you did that, but it should work then.
