API to return <workspace>/.metadata/.plugins/<plugin_version> dir [message #303437]

Hi,
Is there an API that returns the location of the
..metadata/.plugins/<myplugin_ver> directory?

Is this the correct location for log files generated by my plugin?

If no, where should logs be generated (by a well behaved plugin)?

Thanks
Michael Giroux

AFAIK, any logs generated through the eclipse logger will go to
<workspace>/.metadata/.log

The location you are talking about is returned from
Plugin#getStateLocation(), I think.

Paul,
Thanks for the getStateLocation() pointer.
