Hi,
I need to read a file located in the eclipse directory (not in workspace). How can I obtain my eclipse directory path???

I've seen that page but it doesn't work for me: I have a target platform dedicated for my eclipse application, so the instruction:

Platform.getInstallLocation().getURL()

gives me the URL of my target platform.
The instruction:

Platform.getInstanceLocation().getURL()

gives me the URL of the runtime workspace. I need the path of my eclipse directory.

Resolved. I placed the file to read in my target platform directory and I used the instruction:

Platform.getInstallLocation().getURL()

to retrieve the file while I'm developing in eclipse.
In the product the instruction over gives me exactly the path of the directory of the product.
Thank you!
