Hi all,
I've been working on this for about 3 hours now, and it's time to ask
for help. I have the following code:
IWorkspace ws = ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace();
IProject p =
ws.getRoot().getProject("com.liferay.eclipse.myCollPlugin");
IFile f = p.getFile("plugin.xml");
if (f.exists()) {
System.out.print(ws.getRoot());
}
String t = f.getFullPath().toString();
System.out.println(t);
the output of this is /com.liferay.eclipse.myCollPlugin/plugin.xml
I would expect it to be d:/liferay/projects/plugindev/plugin.xml
My goal here is to be able to edit xml files in a specific location in
my project. Do I absolutely have to state the name of the project or
can I just have it grab the currently active project? That's secondary
cuz I can just say your project has to be named x for this to work. My
main issue right now is that I can't figure out how to get access to
the files inside my project without hard coding them to my specific
system which is no good.
Thanks in advance,
Brett

Okay, I changed it to this:
IPath path =
ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace().getRoot().getProject("com.liferay.eclipse.myCollPlugin ").getLocation();
but IPath always comes back as null, why do I have to specify the
project name? Can't I just say use the current project?

OMG, I am so dumb.
I was trying to reference a projec that didn't exist, I forget it put
me in a new workspace... I've wasted two days because I never setup a
project in the first place so there was nothing to reference when the
new eclips env loaded... AAAARRRGGHHH!!!
thanks for your help
