I need to read in a file that is located in my plugin directory.
How can I do this?

Take a look at getBundle('/path/to/my/file'). And please be aware that a
plugin is _not_ guaranteed to be in a directory (might also be a jar or
somewhere else), so don't make any assumptions about directory or file
structures.
