Hi,

I am creating a folder in the state location however I am unable to get
a handle to that folder as an IFolder. Is there a different API I am
supposed to use here? This is a code snippet...folder.exists() always
returns false even when the directories are created using the
java.io.File method mkdirs().

IPath path = null;
IFolder folder = null;

path = MyPlugin.getDefault().getStateLocation()
path = path.append("one").append("two");
path.toFile().mkdirs();
folder = ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace().getRoot().getFolder(path);
System.out.println("folder exists: " + folder.exists());

The state location is a private place your plug-in to keep its data. The
workspace is where user projects, files and folders are kept. For
creating files/directories in the state location, you are limited to
using java.io.File.
