Hi All,

I am trying to read model.ecore at model folder in plugin "com.kosala.model".

Here is my code:

Bundle bundle = Platform.getBundle("com.kosala.model");
URL fileURL = bundle.getEntry("model/model.ecore");
File file = null;
try {
file = new File(FileLocator.resolve(fileURL).toURI());
} catch (URISyntaxException e1) {
e1.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e1) {
e1.printStackTrace();
}


This gives an error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException.

bundle gets null.

Anyone has a clue to slove this issue?

Thanks in advance
K

Use the sample below as something to build off of. To get a resource, first retrieve the bundle using the getBundleForName() and then call bundle.getEntry() to retrieve the resource within the bundle. Note that getEntry() will only search the specified bundle, which will return a platform URL to the resource.


package braintrader.workbench.internal.common;

import org.eclipse.osgi.service.datalocation.Location;
import org.osgi.framework.Bundle;
import org.osgi.framework.BundleActivator;
import org.osgi.framework.BundleContext;
import org.osgi.framework.Filter;
import org.osgi.framework.InvalidSyntaxException;
import org.osgi.service.packageadmin.PackageAdmin;
import org.osgi.util.tracker.ServiceTracker;

@SuppressWarnings({"deprecation", "rawtypes", "unchecked"})
public class WorkbenchCommonActivator implements BundleActivator {

	// Change to match your bundle ID
	public static final String PLUGIN_ID = "braintrader.workbench.common"; //$NON-NLS-1$
	
	private static WorkbenchCommonActivator defaultInstance;

	private BundleContext context;
	private ServiceTracker locationTracker;
	private ServiceTracker pkgAdminTracker;

	/**
	 * Get the default activator.
	 * 
	 * @return a BundleActivator
	 */
	public static WorkbenchCommonActivator getDefault() {
		return defaultInstance;
	}
	
	public WorkbenchCommonActivator() {
		defaultInstance = this;
	}

	/**
	 * @return the bundle object
	 */
	public Bundle getBundle() {
		return context.getBundle();
	}

	/**
	 * @return the PackageAdmin service from this bundle
	 */
	public PackageAdmin getBundleAdmin() {
		if (pkgAdminTracker == null) {
			if (context == null)
				return null;
			pkgAdminTracker = new ServiceTracker(context, PackageAdmin.class.getName(), null);
			pkgAdminTracker.open();
		}
		return (PackageAdmin) pkgAdminTracker.getService();
	}

	/**
	 * @param bundleName
	 *            the bundle id
	 * @return A bundle if found, or <code>null</code>
	 */
	public Bundle getBundleForName(String bundleName) {
		Bundle[] bundles = getBundleAdmin().getBundles(bundleName, null);
		if (bundles == null)
			return null;
		// Return the first bundle that is not installed or uninstalled
		for (int i = 0; i < bundles.length; i++) {
			if ((bundles[i].getState() & (Bundle.INSTALLED | Bundle.UNINSTALLED)) == 0) {
				return bundles[i];
			}
		}
		return null;
	}

	/**

	public BundleContext getContext() {

				// above format.
			}
			locationTracker = new ServiceTracker(context, filter, null);
			locationTracker.open();
		}
		return (Location) locationTracker.getService();
	}

	public void start(BundleContext context) throws Exception {
		this.context = context;
	}

	public void stop(BundleContext context) throws Exception {
