Load non-workspace file programmatically [message #197660]

Hi everybody,

in my rcp plugin i have to load a file programmatically, which is
actually in the classpath of my project (a xml file). After loading this
file i have to convert this file in an IFile, if necessary.
Afterwards i have to fill a custom editor with this input.

I googled and googled, but i only found how i open an editor
programmatically, but not how i do that with files (which are not in the
workspace).

openEditor(new FileEditorInput(IFile), editorId)....
So what is the best practise to retrieve this IFile?

Any help appreciated!
