Hi everybody,
I'm trying to open a simple text file in eclipse in order to create a
String out of the file content and I'm not getting it to work.

I tried the following:

String textFile = "testproject/test.txt"
IPath textFileIPath = new Path ( textFileFile );
String textFileLocation =
ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace().getRoot().findMember( textFileIPath
).getLocation().toString();
URI queryFileURI = URI.createFileURI( textFileLocation );
ResourceSet resourceSet = new ResourceSetImpl();
Resource resource = resourceSet.createResource( textFileURI );
resource.load( Collections.EMPTY_MAP );

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks,
Hans

Hello Hans,
Shouldn't your second line read:
IPath textFileIPath = new Path ( textFile );
i.e. not textFileFile

Hope that helps.
