properties file after export [message #466479]

I have an RCP application that uses Spring JDBC. I have a properties file
that gets loading into the applicationContext.xml. I'm able to export the
app and everything works fine. The properties file is bundled in a jar
file in the exported app. Want I want to do is to be able to create this
file on the fly, but I'm not sure how to locate it or how to create it
inside the jar file since it has to be accesible to the context.xml file.
If there is a way to keep the property file out of the jar file, that
might work too. I'm open to all suggestions.
Thanks

You can attach it as a fragment, which means the .properties file will be available to the bundle. If you're really cool, you can generate this fragment on the fly :-)

Hi Jim,

It's common for plug-ins that generate metadata on the fly to store those
files in the "state location" for the plug-in. You can access the path for
a given bundle/plug-in by calling Platform.getStateLocation(Bundle).

Physically, these locations are beneath the .metadata folder in the OSGi
instance area (workspace).

Hope this helps,
