Hello there.

I can not figure out why i get "null" from the getWorkspace().

I have searched the newsgroup foir similar problems but it had not helped
me... :o(

My code snip:
import org.eclipse.core.resources.ResourcesPlugin;
import org.eclipse.core.resources.IWorkspace;
public class Test_Workspace
{
public Test_Workspace()
{
super();
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
IWorkspace workspace = ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace();
System.out.println(workspace.toString());
}
}

Best regards

Peter

The workspace only exists if the Eclipse platform has been started. You
can't use it in a stand-alone java program. You need to create an
Eclipse application (search in newsgroups or doc for the
org.eclipse.core.runtime.applications extension point).

Hello again

What do you mean by "Eclipse Platform"??
I have started the program from inside the Eclipse IDE...

Is it some kind of other program i have to start, or some kind of property
to setup??

Best regards

You have to write a plugin and then launch a runtime workbench
with your new plugin. Running a Java program inside Eclipse
does not give you access to the platform.

Here are some documents that describe how the platform works
and how to write your own plugins to extend the platform:
