Hi everybody,
I'm trying to open a simple text file in eclipse in order to create a
String out of the file content and I'm not getting it to work.

I tried the following:

String textFile = "testproject/test.txt"
IPath textFileIPath = new Path ( textFileFile );
String textFileLocation =
ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace().getRoot().findMember( textFileIPath
).getLocation().toString();
URI queryFileURI = URI.createFileURI( textFileLocation );
ResourceSet resourceSet = new ResourceSetImpl();
Resource resource = resourceSet.createResource( textFileURI );
resource.load( Collections.EMPTY_MAP );

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks,
Hans

Hi
I suppose you try to read it from your plugin,
with your "test.txt" bundled within the plugin jar.

To read you can use something like openMyTestStream("test.txt");
with :
private InputStream openMyTestStream(String filename) {
try {
URL installURL = MyPlugin.getDefault().getBundle().getEntry("/");
URL url = new URL(installURL, filename);
return ( url.openStream() );
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}
