How to get full path of opened file in editor [message #11908]

I'm running an RCP app with two plugins. I want to start the second
plugin with a parameter, which is the file name (full path) of the
currently opened file in the editor of the first plugin.
So I have an action defined and get the filename from the active editor.
Problem is that I need the full path. I only get the short file name.

public final class SimulatorAction implements
IWorkbenchWindowActionDelegate {
private IWorkbenchWindow m_window;

public void run(IAction action) {
SimulatorGui gui = new SimulatorGui();
String fName =
m_window.getActivePage().getActiveEditor().getEditorInput(). getName();
// Start the GUI
}

public void init(IWorkbenchWindow window) {
m_window = window;
}
}

Help is appreciated.
JL

Once again, I found the solution myself shortly after posting and after
some serious clicking around in the Object Inspector.

IResource fName = (IResource) m_window.getActivePage().getActiveEditor()
.getEditorInput().getAdapter(IResource.class);
String name = fName.getFullPath().toOSString();
String wsLocation =
fName.getWorkspace().getRoot().getLocation().toOSString();

// Now wsLocation + name are the full path to the opened file.
Thanks for the help...you're welcome ;-)
