Need to find local file system path for linked output folder [message #312792]

Sorry if this is a newbie question, but the documentation has been
unhelpful to me.

I'm trying to make the FindBugs eclipse plugin work with linked output
folders:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid =1653258&group_id=96405&atid=614693

So, I've got a project FindBugsProblem that has set foo as a linked output
folder. The .classfile file contains:
<classpathentry kind="output" path="foo"/>

The .project file contains:
<linkedResources>
<link>
<name>foo</name>
<type>2</type>
<location>/Users/pugh/Documents/hidden/bar/foo</location>
</link>
</linkedResources>

I need to figure out how, from the IJavaProject for a project, to get the
actual local file system path
for the output location. getOutputLocation() returns /FindBugsProblem/foo

thanks for any help.

That method says it returns an absolute workspace path. So, you want
something like this:

ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace().getRoot().findMember(javaProj ect.getOutputLocation()).getLocation();

Obvious, isn't it? ;)

Bill,

I think you should just get the IFolder
(IWorkspaceRoot.getFolder("/FindBugsProblem/foo")) for it and call
getLocation/getLocationURI on that.
