get the source associated with a class file [message #257530]

in my code, I get IJavaElement which actually represents a class file. Now
from this object, I want ICompilationUnit i.e. the source file
corresponding to this class file. I know there is a method in IClassFile
"getWorkingCopy" but I think using this method will have performance hit
as I think it will allocate some buffers and stuff? and I dont know how to
use the WorkingCopyOwner argument?

Bascially what I want to do is that given a class file, find the source
folder or package that the corresponding java source file is in..
