Replacement for getDescriptor().getPluginClassLoader() [message #324983]

Can I replace the following lines of code :

ResourcesPlugin.getDefault().getDescriptor().getPluginClassL oader()

With:

ResourcesPlugin.getDefault().getClass().getClassLoader()

Where ResourcePlugin is my plugin, and getDefault() method returns the
plugin instance.

If it works, then ... maybe :-)

You can get your Bundle to load classes for you (correctly) by getting
your Bundle (you can use Platform.getBundle()) and then calling
Bundle#loadClass(*)

if you are trying to get the classloader to create ResourceBundles, have
a look at the archives for this group or eclipse.platform.rcp ... there
was a thread on this in the last 2 months which (IIRC) has a solution.

I had a look into the post that Paul mentioned, i.e. by using the
FileLocator.find() to locate and load the ResourceBundles under the
plugin. But there is a difference in the way how the .properties files are
made available inside the plugin in both the cases. In short, while using
ResouceBundle.getBundle() the translated files are under "src" folder of
plugin with the locale attributes appended to the file name (e.g.
MyResources_fr_FR.properties), where are in case of FileLocator().find()
the files are expected in a different way. There should a folder called
"nl" in the plugin and the each of the translated files has same name but
located in different folder (nl/fr/FR/MyResources.properties). Can some
body suggest me which is the better approach with pros/cons of each one.

Warm Regards,
Rajesh
