How to read files within a bundle [message #116886]

Hi guys,

this might be a stupid question, but I dont manage to read a file within
a bundle. E.g. how do I read a properties file? How can I gain an
inputstream of these files in my bundle? Is it possible to get the
absolute path of these files (for new File(path)), is this necessary
actually?

My foldes:
src/
....
bin/
....
files/
a.file
config/
some.properties

Greetings,
Otto

ps: I also added the file in the build.properties

The FileLocator class should do the job.

Or just Bundle#getEntry(String) if you don't need the NLS specific path
substitutions. :)
