Is it possible to set the device of an IFile?
I'm converting a File to an IPath and the to an IFile but
when I do the last step, the device is set to null.
Here's what I do for this:
IFile myIFile =
ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace().getRoot().getFileForLocation( myIPath);
This file is external to the workspace, maybe that's why???
Any ideas?
Thanks
Nic

Ok, well let me try to explain this a little better. I'm a little vague on
how all of these objects or interfaces work together.
Basically what I need to do is to allow eclipse (or in my case Rational)
to open a file passed in as a parameter on the command line. The software
doesn't do it by itself so I have to code this.
So far I have created a class which implements IStartup. And in the
earlyStartup method I can parse the command line parameters. Now
what's left is to get it to open a file whose outside of the workspace
(outside of the "workspace" folder on your hardrive). I did get it to
work with eclipse with this code (or something like it, I'm modifying
it so it may not work), myFilePath could be anywhere on the harddrive:
File file = new File(myFilePath);
IPath path = new Path(file.getAbsolutePath());
IFile ifile = ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace().getRoot().getFile(path);
IWorkbenchWindow window = myWorkbench.getActiveWorkbenchWindow();
try{
if (window != null){
IWorkbenchPage iwp = window.getActivePage();
System.out.println(iwp.getPerspective().getId());
org.eclipse.ui.ide.IDE.openEditor(iwp, ifile,
"org.eclipse.ui.DefaultTextEditor");
}
}catch(Exception e){
System.out.println(e);
}
Now when I move this code to Rational and try to get it to open a file
with their HTML input editor, I get file not found. So I started looking
through the different objects in the debugger and noticed that my IFile
didn't have the device set. So I thought that was it. I need to get this
populated...
After doing some more research on this forum I heard about a linked file.
Funny, you just mentioned it too. I can't seem to find much about it though.
Would this help me???
Thanks, really appreciate it.

See IFile.createLink. This method will create a file whose contents are
at an arbitrary location on disk. This file must still belong to some
project though:
IProject p = ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace().getRoot().getProject("Test");
IFile file = p.getFile("TestFile.txt");
file.createLink("c:\\temp\\SomePlaceOnDisk.txt", 0, null);
