| Linked CSS styles and relative path [message #256480] |

I'm using linked CSS as described in the Styles Revisited post on BIRT
World. Works great in the report designer. When I try to run my report,
though, my styles disappear.
I gather from this thread:
< http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.birt/msg20240. html> that
I need to set the resource path for the engine config. The sample code
provided from Jason uses an absolute path, though, and my CSS file and
report are embedded in an Eclipse plugin.
Can I use a relative path here? (And relative to what?) Or a platform
URL or some-such? I'm having trouble finding where to put a breakpoint
to figure out how the path is evaluated.

Jeff,
If your resources are in a plugin, can you use something like:
Bundle bundle =
org.eclipse.core.runtime.Platform.getBundle("my.resource.plugin ");
config.setResourcePath(config.bundle.getEntry("pathinplugin "));

Huh. I was pretty certain I'd tried that, unsuccessfully. Tried again,
though and worked perfectly! (Minor correction--you get a URL from
getEntry and have to do toExternalForm()...)
Thanks!
