Get InputStream for resource defined in extension point. [message #334638]

Hello.

I have a custom extension point that defines the attribute "descriptor"
which is of type "resource".
How do I now get an InputStream of that resource.
I can access the attribute itself with
String descriptor = element.getAttribute("descriptor");
What to do next to get an InputStream for this descriptor resource?

Best regards,
Kai

Ok ... I just found the solution myself.

Bundle bundle = Platform.getBundle(element.getContributor().getName());
URL descriptorUrl = bundle.getResource(element.getAttribute("descriptor"));

From there on it's trivial.
