Copying files from a plug-in subdirectory to a project subdirectory [message #65959]

I'm working on a plugin application which will create a new project, a
subdirectory structure within that project, and then populate the various
subdirectories with several pre-written files.

Ideally, I'd like to be able to create a Resources subdirectory within the
plugin subdirectory that will hold these files. What I haven't figured out
is how to get a reference to this Resources subdirectory, i.e. how do I get
a reference to the plugin's own directory so I can copy those resource files
to the appropriate locations within the project?

Thanks,
Rob

I determined on my own that it is is possible to obtain the URL of the
installation directory for a plug-in using the following bit of code.

URL base = getDescriptor().getInstallURL();
