How to change the folder structure when exporting. [message #461091]

When I export my rcp application, I see the following folder structure.

\myRCP\
\feature\
\plugin\
\myplugin.jar
...

Above is not the same as my development folder.
I create a foo folder. Next, when I export, it is packaged in myplugin.jar. If I write the code that reference a specific resource in the foo folder, it will throw run time exception.

How can I solve this problem?

If you load the resource with class.getResourceAsStream("foo/file.txt") then it should work, regardless of whether it's packaged up as a Jar or not.

If foo is at the root of the plugin folder, you need to include a '/' as
in "/foo/file.txt". Otherwise foo is added at the end of the package of
the Class used to call the getResourceAsStream method. If called from
com.somepackage.AClass, the class loader will look for the file
"com/somepackage/foo/file.txt".

D'oh! Of course. Goes to show what happens when you write responses that late at night :-)
