Hi, I want to obtain the content of a file in a plugin and insert it in a
String. I have already write this code:
IFile file2=container.getFile(new Path("config.txt"));
if (file2.exists()) {
InputStream stream1= file2.getContents();

But now what I have to write?

This is live code, so it may have some compile problems. Nevertheless,
it should give you a good idea of what to do.

BufferedReader br =
new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(file2.getContents()));
StringBuffer contents = new StringBuffer();
String line = null;

while ((line = br.readLine()) != null)
contents.append(line);

System.out.println(contents.toString());

// be sure to wrap things in a try/catch/finally block
// and close your stream in the finally
