Hi,
I have some simple problem.Hope I am doing something wrong.
I can not get a resource( file ) from a Project.
Here is what I am doing:
-I have project "test".in that I have a folder "test" in whihc I have
test.txt.
-I opened the project
-And want to open the file in that. But i can not do it. Always I am getting
exception."file does not exists"..Please help me.

here is the sample code that I am doing.//ofcourse its just a test
Please see my comments as java comments in the sample code.
IWorkspace workspace = ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace();

IWorkspaceRoot root = workspace.getRoot(); //

IProject[] ps = root.getProjects();

String str = ps[0].getName();//Just for test.

IProject myWebProject = root.getProject(str);//My test does not work. Here I
get always only one project Desktop.//so using this Desktop project only for
doing test

// I copied my text.txt in Desktop project(For doing test.)

boolean pExists =myWebProject.exists();boolean isOpen =
myWebProject.isOpen();

if ( pExists && !isOpen)

myWebProject.open(null);

IFolder folder = myWebProject.getFolder("test");

IFile file= folder.getFile("tst.txt");

boolean fileExists = file.exists();//always returns false..

I tried somany cases but none is working.Please help me.I am doing something
wrong.But I couldn't figure it out.

1. Have u copied the folder and file under ur desktop project.
2. The file name specified is tst.txt.. .Do u have test.txt / tst.txt.

IProject project = workspace.getRoot().getProject("Test");
IFolder folder = project.getFolder("test");
IFile file = folder.getFile("test.txt");

It is tst.txt.
While typing it to forum. I did small mistake.
So its not question of file names. Its the question of how to program it.

I checked the file name and path. its no dobut that I wrote correctly in my
program.
I did tests with so many other files also..

I personally writing a plugin for eclipse. I wrote this code in plugin
implementaion. is this could be wrong?

Thanks in advance,
Ramana
