Hello,
I have a plug-in that currently accesses a configurable, but runtime
static XML file. I would like to move the file from the directory where
it is stored and zip it up with the plugin itself. Is there a way for a
plug-in at runtime to access files within its plugin? Maybe something in
the plugin.xml that would make the file visible to the code?
Just wondering,
Thanks,
Matt A

The easiest way is to make sure it is in your classpath (i.e. you put it
into your source folder for the plugin) and then just use standard java
access:
URL url = SomeClassInYourPlugin.getResource("/path to resource");
or
InputStream is = SomeClassInYourPlugin.getResourceAsStream("/path to
resource");
where SomeClassInYourPlugin is some class in your plugin.
