Resources.getWorkspace() returns null [message #273737]

Hi,

I am trying to work with the resources plugin to get some project
properties, but Resources.getWorkspace() always returns a null. The
documentation for the API says that a null is returned when the plugin is
shut down. So my questions are:

1. Is the Resources plugin shut down by default?
2. How do I start it programmatically?
3, Could there be something else I am missing?

The Code snippet :

IWorkspace wspace = Resources.getWorkspace();

wspace is null.

Thanks
Manish

Are you running under Eclipse? It would return null if you called it
from an application that was simply started from a main(). It needs to
be running as an Eclipse plugin for this to work.
