hi,

I've a plugin which is running on the workspace. in the runtime
environment, i created a project "test" and a file inside this
project. I need to get this project path and name to create some files inside it at runtime.

If i try ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace().getRoot().getProjects()[0]
it returns me path to the test folder.

But here i dont know which index of the projects to take.
so now when i try to get the project with
ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace().getRoot().getProject()
it returns me null.

if i select the project, then i'm able to get the project from the
selectionservice and iresource like below.

IResource extractSelection(ISelection sel) {
if (!(sel instanceof IStructuredSelection))
return null;
IStructuredSelection ss = (IStructuredSelection) sel;
Object element = ss.getFirstElement();
if (element instanceof IResource)
return (IResource) element;
if (!(element instanceof IAdaptable))
return null;
IAdaptable adaptable = (IAdaptable)element;
Object adapter = adaptable.getAdapter(IResource.class);
return (IResource) adapter;
}
System.out.println(resource.getProject());

But i will not have the selection available always.

Can anyone kindly tell me how to get the current project from the runtime environment !

Thanks,

You can get the project if you know its
name:ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace().getRoot().getProject(<name of the
project>)

Hi, Thanks for the response.
But there i don't have the name of the project.

as a work around, i tried the below approach to get the container of the active editor and then from there navigating to a relative path.

(EditorPart)getActiveWorkbench().getActivePage().getActiveEd itor().getEditorInput()).getFile().getParent()

i think this is not an optimum approach, please let me know if there are alternates.

Thanks,
