Testing linked resource for existence [message #291405]

What is the correct/best way to test if a linked resource still points to
a local file that exists?

Checking for IFile.exists() just tells you if the linked resource is in
the repository, right?

Is there a better way than checking for
IFile.getLocation().toFile().exists()?

Thanks,

Ash

I would suggest:

resource.refreshLocal(IResource.DEPTH_INFINITE, null);
resource.exists();

By refreshing first, you can be sure that the workspace contents match
what is on disk. However, your code snippet will also work (assuming
getLocation() does not return null).
