Hello.
I try to copy files out of plugin bundles, but I don't come to a solution.
I get the Bundle:
Bundle b = Platform.getBundle(...);
Then I tried:
URL url = b.getResource("lib/aFile.jar"); // where lib/aFile.jar is the
file I want to copy
But what can I do with this URL? I cannot instantiate a java.io.File with
it. Is there any convenience class I did not see yet? How can I copy the
file?
Thanks in advance,
Stefan

Look at FileLocator class.

Derek,
Yes, one could use toFileURI. That creates a copy in the file system,
so is not really the most efficient way. I'm not sure why Stefan
doesn't just use openStream on the URL to read directly from the jar and
then write those bytes to the target...
