Hi,
I am new to plug-in development. I am developing a command line application, which takes workspace path as one of its arguments.
For further processing, I need to get IWorkspace object from the workspace path provided as an argument. How can I get the same?
ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace() method gives the IWorkspace object of the Eclipse workspace I use. Aad also read that these methods cannot be used if the Eclipse workspace is closed as such.
Which other way can I get the IWorkspace object?
I apologise if my question seems stupid.
Thanks in advance,
Latha

You can use ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace() provided you launch the command line app using org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_xxx.jar with your application
defined using the org.eclipse.core.runtime.applications extension point. Your class needs to implement org.eclipse.equinox.app.IApplication.
The workspace is specified by the "-data path" command parameter which is handled by the launcher jar.
