Hi,
Is there a way to locate the root directory of an eclipse installation?
I'm thinking that if you can locate a bundle's path then you can
extrapolate the launcher path (in a normal installation) by doing
something like:
IPath bundlePath = new
Path(FileLocator.getBundleFile(getBundle()).getCanonicalPath ());
IPath launcherPath = bundlePath.uptoSegment(bundlePath.segmentCount() - 2);
which is horrible! Is there another way?

How about
Location eclipseLoc = Platform.getInstallLocation();
URL eclipseBase = eclipseLoc.getURL();
