Access data files in a jar file [message #900096]

Hi all,

I have to read some conf xml that are in a data folder at the same level that the icons folder. And I don't know how to do it. Everything that I try works well in the IDE but it fails when I try with a build product.

if I try:

    Bundle bundle = Platform.getBundle("com.example.mail");
    URL fileURL = bundle.getResource("/data/claudia.xml");

or:

    Bundle bundle = Platform.getBundle("com.example.mail");
    URL fileURL = bundle.getResource("/data/claudia.xml");

both return a null fileURL.

If I try:

	fileURL = new URL("platform:/plugin/com.example.mail/data/claudia.xml");
        File file = new File(FileLocator.resolve(fileURL).toURI());

I get:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: URI is not hierarchical

I've googled for hours and coul not find a solution. Any help, please?
