I have installed Eclipse in directory(C:\Eclipse\eclipse\plugins) and
would like to get this path from my plugin code. I have tried

String location = DebugPlugin.getDefault().getStateLocation();

would return plugin location of workspace and not the installed location.

Could someone please help me getting installed location.

thanks
JP

With this code :
URL url = FileLocator.find(MyPlugin.getDefault().getBundle(), new
Path(""), null);
try {
url = FileLocator.resolve(url);
}catch (IOException ioe){}

=> You have the plugin install path location...

With this code :
Platform.getInstallLocation().getURL().getPath()

=> You have Eclipse install path location

Thanks Sophie. I have put my question wrong. Sorry that was my bad.

I have a my plugin called xxxPlugin and have file(xxx.properties) inside
that plugin and would like to read file(xxx.properties) in the
code(org.sni.eclipse.xxxAction) that exists in xxxPlugin.

xxxPlugin
|
|
--org.sni.eclipse
| |
| - xxxAction
|
--xxx.properties

Could you please let me know, how to read that file.

JP,

Try MyPlugin.getDefault().getBundle().getEntry("xxx.properties").

Thanks Ed.

Here is the code used to read resource file in plugin.

InputStream ios = myActivator.getDefault().getBundle().getResource(
"jp.properties").openStream();
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(ios));
String inputLine;
while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null)
{
System.out.println(inputLine);
}
in.close();

You can also use the following code (for a file named
'messages.properties' for example) :

ResourceBundle.getBundle("messages").getString(key)
