Hi,
maybe this one is a bit silly, but if I want to get hold of an IFile,
can I do so only from within a plugin? Or is there a way to bootstrap
the platform and obtain a Workspace from within my own main()?
Thanks,
Jörg.

You really need the platform to be running to use the workspace.
However, there is no requirement that the platform have a UI. You can
create an eclipse application that just uses the org.eclipse.core.*
plugins, and then this application will have access to the workspace.
Do a search for the org.eclipse.core.runtime.applications extension
point for more details.
