Hi again!
I'm using Xtend to generate some code.
But my question does not exactly concerns code generation, but some other things within an Eclipse Application running with my DSL and code generator.
My generator needs some information contained in a kind of configuration file.
I manage to access and process this file by writing its path and name in a String variable within the generator's Main.java
This works for testing, but not more than that.
So, considering there's an Eclipse running with my generator, I would like to search within the current project directory, in order to find out the file paths and names contained in it.
Since this configuration file must be anyway imported (it is pre-processed by another plugin before I use it), being able to find it in my project would be a reasonable solution.
I tried doing something in this direction http://www.java-tips.org/java-se-tips/java.io/list-the-names-of-all-files-in-a-particular-dire.html
in the Main.java or in the .xtend, but it has returned the eclipse path, not the path of the current project.
I believe that the solution should not be a big issue, but neither am I an experienced programmer...
Many thanks in advance,
Carmela

Hi,
i doubt this is a common usecase.
if you are restricted to usage in eclipse ui you could e.g.
- come up with a own JavaProjectBasedBuilderParticipant/IGenerator that knows the IProject the generation is done within. then you could query the projects with eclipse means
- Or you come up with an own IFileSystemAccess (subclass of ExtendedEclipseResourceFilesystemAccess) and expose the src-gen path and then downcast in your generator. you may have to add an additional interface to get clean dependencies is runtime and ui plugin.
In both cases the solution is imho dirty.
so what is the reason you want to do this.
