How to programatically get the location of plugin directory [message #154899]

Is there an easy way to get a directory reference of the location of a
plugin directory? Basically I want to create a plugin that some associated
files that need to be accessed. I would like to place these files in a
subdirectory of my plugin directory, and then reference them in my code at
places.

Thanx for any help,

I use: "URL IPluginDescriptor.find(IPath path);"
which returns "file:" URL if plugin is installed in the local file system.

IMHO, mostly suggested "Platform.resolve(IPluginDescriptor.getInstallURL())"
looks not so obvious :)

PS. This is so called STFM-question :)

It's better to view source code than comments to it.
