absolute windows path of an URI [message #1162436] Wed, 30 October 2013 07:21 Go to next message

in my generator.xtend, the doGenerate is called with 2 arguments: resource and fsa

If I want to know which DSL file my doGenerate is currently processing
resource.URI will return platform:/resource/myproject/src/abc.mydsl

How can I convert this information to an absolute windows path?
C:\kepler-work\runtime-EclipseXtext\myproject\src\abc.mydsl

Is there something like
resource.URI.absoluteWindowsPath

HI,

hi. do you call the generator from ui only? if there is a workspace and this workspace is backed by a file system
ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace().getRoot().getFile(new org.eclipse.core.runtime.Path(resource.getURI().toPlatformString(true))).getLocation().toPortableString()

Hi Christian,

thank you for your suggestion.

I'm not sure what you mean with "UI only".
For the moment in time, I use the "launch runtime" to experiment with my DSL.
So I have an eclipse environment and a workspace as well.

I added your line into my Generator XTEND,
but got a lot of red marks which will not go away when I press "Organise Imports".

Looks like it will take some time to resolve this issue (as I mentioned earlier, a total newbie on Eclipse, Java, ...).

Hi,
