There really isn't a way, especially a portable way, to do that.
Projects are a little like mini-universes outside of which nothing exists.

Are you trying to access the file in a Java program? If so, then you can make Project B depend on Project A. The Project A source folder will then be added to the classpath of Project B and you can use the Class.getResource method to access the file.

Hello,
I can't add the project dependency because it will result in some other errors for me.
ok i will explain it correctly now.
I have one xtend file in ProjectA.
And I have a text file in ProjectB.
I want to write a method in xten file of ProjectA which will write some string to the text file Present in ProjectB.

In java I wrote:

public class FileHelper {

public void writeFileObject(final String append) {
File file = null;
file = new File("../ProjectB/resources/Sample.txt");
try {
FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(file, true);
fw.write(append);
fw.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

}
}

This works fine if I call writeFileObject method from main method or from a different java class. But if I call this method from that xtend file, its not working.
Please someone help!!!!!!

Thanks in advance Smile
