FooPlugin.getDefault().getBundle().getEntry(relativePath).getPath() returns bad value in exported RC [message #459739]

R3.2.1, WinXP

Rather spontaneously (really) the call
FooPlugin.getDefault().getBundle().getEntry("bang.jar").getPath() changed from returning

"/C:/foo/bar/myFooPluginDirectory/bang.jar"

to returning

"file:C:/foo/bar/myFooPluginDirectory/bang.jar!"

(YES, with trailing "!")

Anyone have any clue why this would happen? Also, how to get the URL to just return the naked path
without the "file:" and the "!"?

thanks,
Paul

Did you install the Eclipse Zip plugin as discussed on EclipseZone recently? It looks like it's returning a URL, and one of the semi-conventional ways of referring to a file inside a Jar is with a !

Alternatively, it may be the addition of a Zip implementation of EFS that's doing this.

Just guesses :-)

Alex.

Once you have URL url = bundle.getEntry(*), you need to use
FileLocator.toFileURL(url) and then it will be a proper URL to a file on
the file system.

Excellent -- works like a champ. And my dummheit can be seen in the fact that I *knew* about
FileLocator.toFileURL(url), but was only using it when I retrieved the *install* URL. Go figure.

Alex --
I haven't installed the Eclipse Zip plugin as discussed on EclipseZone, although I did start using
the Java unzip code a month or so ago (but this error just showed up a day or so ago).

thanks,
Paul
