Is there a Filemanager I can use in eclipse to point to any directory,
especially my plugin directory, or should I pull out the swing file mnager?

Is the best way to open files in the plugin directory by using
java.io.File, or can I use an eclipse file? or are eclipse files always
eclipse manageed resources?

Please stop double posting. That will not get you any answers faster.
I use org.eclipse.ui.dialogs.ResourceSelectionDialog to let the user
select ressources (which must be in the workspace), for files outside
the workspace (like your plugin dir) you may use a FileSelectionDialog
instead.

Avoid java.io.File and use the IFile interface of Eclipse instead. Many
other API functions in Eclipse use IFile or IResource so that may be
easier if your plugin grows.

Ciao, Michael.

Its not a double post, its a more focused post now that I investigated
further.

I know, but I cant seem to get an IResource outside of project
directory. What I really need is a package explorer of my own, or that
I can modify. But these dialogs well certainly help. Thanks!
