Hey Guys,

I have a history.xml file to which I would like to get access to.
Platform.getPlugin(String).getDescriptor().getInstaURL() doesn't work in
Eclipse 3. So, how can I obtain the path of this xml file?

Thanks a lot.

Platform.getBundle(String).getEntry("xyz.xml");

This will return the url to xyz.xml under your plugin. (Note: use
"abc/xyz.xml" if not in the root of the plugin).

Hi,

This works fine while I'm running the plugin from the Runtime Workspace.
When I try to run as a RCP app, it is not able to find the XML document.
When I comment out the code that tries to get the XML doc, the RCP app
runs fine.

Take a look at the plugin directory in your RCP app, make sure the xml
file is in your plugin. When running Runtime Workspace it is looking at
your workspace's project for the plugin, but when running RCP it is
looking at your exported code. If not found at RCP it means its not there.

Note: don't forget to go to the build.properties file and mark your
xyz.xml file as being a member of the bin.includes entry. Otherwise the
pde won't export it when you build your plugin through the pde.
