ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace(); always returns null. [message #205912]

have the following code:

IWorkspace workspace = ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace();

ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace(); always returns null. The javadoc says that
a null is returned when the Resources plugin is shutdown. So I tried

Resources.getPlugin().startup(),
but Resources.getPlugin() also returns a null.

If the plugin is indeed shut down, how should I start it (preferably
programatically)

Any help is greatly appreciated

Firstly, you are in the wrong forum for this question. Try eclipse.platform.

Secondly, I use the same code and have no problem with it. Did you check
your .log file?

For anyone else reading in the GEF forum; he cross posted to a few newsgroups. Secondly, what he doesn't mention (here) is that the program was:

public class Test {
public static void main(String args[]) {
ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace(); // alwasy returns null
}
}

and, despite posting the bleeding obvious that you can't run it from a main method like that, he still asks the question repeatedly ...
