Absolute path from getInstallURL() [message #145692]

Hi, can anybody help me...

I'm trying to get the absolute file system path from which my plugin is
loaded by eclipse.

Here's what i've tried so far...

getClass().getName();
getDescriptor().getPluginClassLoader().getResource(getClass( ).getName()));
Platform.getLocation();
getDescriptor().getInstallURL();
getDescriptor().getInstallURL().getFile();
getDescriptor().getInstallURL().toExternalForm();
getDescriptor().getInstallURL().getPath();
getDescriptor().getInstallURL().getRef();
(new File(getDescriptor().getInstallURL().getFile())).getAbsolute Path());
new URI(getDescriptor().getInstallURL().getFile());
(new File((new
URI(getDescriptor().getInstallURL().getFile()).getRawPath()) )).getAbsolutePath());

None of this gives me the right answer. Am i missing something very
obvious??

Thanks

Look at Platform.resolve(URL).
