| java.lang.IllegalStateException: Workspace is closed. [message #143068] | Tue, 14 March 2006 15:29 |  | 
| Eclipse User  |  |  |  |  | Background ---------- I have a java project in which I'm developing a package, that
 ends up in .jar file used by several other projects. The package uses
 JAXB, and for the Junit test cases, I have included in the project an
 ..xml document that gets marshalled and unmarshalled, plus the XMLSchema
 to which the doc conforms.
 
 Problem
 ------- In my test cases, I can not get at the document using the
 ResourcePlugin, because the statment
 
 IWorkspace ws = ResourcesPlugin.getWorskspace();
 
 throws:
 java.lang.IllegalStateException: Workspace is closed.
 
 Google Result
 ------------- I found this from Alex Blewitt at
 http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.platform/msg50 146.html
 
 'You can't open the workspace unless you're running inside Eclipse. That
 does not include running a Java application with a main method.
 
 If your code is being called from a method like Plugin.start() and it's
 being called from Eclipse, this will work. If the line above this code
 reads 'public static void main(String args[]) then it won't work.'
 
 Questions
 --------
 1. I'm executing my test classes from their source files in the
 navigator view, using the right button menu 'Run As.. > Ju 2 unit test'
 .. Since Junit is a plugin (org.Junit(3.8.1)), why is the workspace
 showing closed ?
 
 2. My ugly workaround is to use POJ File and FileStream to reach into
 the project with an absolute filepath, but is there a way I can use
 project-relative paths to my test files from Junit test cases ?.
 
 Bill.
