Resources not being picked from folder in build.properties [message #319502]

Hi,

I've my DTDs located in my source under "src/dtds". My source folder for
Java files is "src/java". Both these are mentioned in my plugin's
build.properties with "/," at the end, as expected.

However, the files under "src/dtds" are not being picked up (returns null)
if I use "getClass().getResourceAsStream()". However, if I place the same
files in "src/java", these are picked correctly by the above code.

I suspect for some reason the "src/dtds" is not being used in the runtime
workbench's classpath. Any clues of why this is happening?

Thanks,
- Nitin

Unless you make src/dtds a source folder, it won't be on the classpath.

build.properties is used to package a plugin, but plugins expect to use
Activator.getDefault().getBundle().getEnry("dtds/whatever.dtd ") to gain
access to files contributed through the build.properties.

Normal java resources (in directories with your .java files or in other
"marked" source or class folder) are accessible the standard way,
getClass().getResourceAsStream(*)

Later,
