Hi Guys,
I want to create a file and write it to the eclipse workspace.
I know how to create and write a file to disk, but dont know how to write
it w.r.t the plug-in using Bundle.
I know the following can be used to get file
Bundle bundle = Platform.getBundle("id");
Path path = new Path("path");
URL url = FileLocator.find(bundle, path, null);
but I cannot figure out how to write a file using Bundle to my plug-in
workspace.
Any help appreciated.
Cheers,
Amit

Your terminology is a bit confusing. The "workspace" is where your projects
live; saying you want to write to the workspace, relative to a plug-in, is
meaningless. What exactly are you trying to do? Write some sort of bundle
configuration data, or write a temporary file, or ....?
I think what you're looking for might be Plugin.getStateLocation(), or
equivalently Platform.getStateLocation(Bundle). There are also some other
interesting locations, like Platform.getConfigurationLocation(),
Platform.getInstallLocation(), and so forth.
You cannot, in general, write files to the directory that your plug-in lives
in, because it is very likely inside a jar file.
