Get IFile from IWorkspaceRoot and location String [message #22657] Wed, 17 September 2008 12:01 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
You can assume the Java package for all these Eclipse classes is
org.eclipse.core.resources.

I want to get an IFile corresponding to a location String I have:

" platform:/resource/Tracbility_All_Supported_lib/processes/ga stuff/globalht/GlobalHTInterface.wsdl "

I have the enclosing IWorkspace and IWorkspaceRoot. If I had the IPath
corresponding to the location above, I could simply call
IWorkspaceRoot.getFileForLocation(IPath).

How do I get the corresponding IPath from the location String? Or is
there some other way to get the corresponding IFile?

To answer my own question, this works:

String platformLocationString = portTypeContainer
.getLocation();
String locationString = platformLocationString
.substring("platform:/resource/".length());
IWorkspace workspace = ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace();
IWorkspaceRoot workspaceRoot = workspace.getRoot();
IFile wSDLFile = (IFile) workspaceRoot
.findMember(locationString);
