Hi all,
My doubt is not so specific to xtext but I am facing this problem in xtext projects, So I would like to explain it.
I have 2 diffrent xtext projects created (Say ProjectAdsl and ProjectBdsl).

I have a file named "Sample.txt" in resources folder of ProjectBdsl and I want to read/append to it at Runtime from a java class, say FileReadWrite.java present in src-> somePackage of ProjectAdsl.
I am developing this in ECLIPSE KEPLER.
So I am not getting the correct relative path that I need to specify.

AND ONE MORE THING I CANNOT ADD DEPENDENCY BETWEEN THESE PROJECTS AS IT WOULD AFFECT SOME OTHER PART.

The work that I have done:
If it was a sample java project then:
"../ProjectBdsl/resources/Sample.txt" would work pefectly fine for me.

And if it was an eclipse RCP project then creating URL and then File Object would work for me, something like:
URL fileURL = new URL("platform:/ProjectBdsl/resources/Sample.txt"));
InputStream is = fileURL.openConnection().getInputStream();

But for my Xtext projects I tried many things, it always throws me FILENOTFOUND exception.

Can anyone help me out with this ???

Thanks in advance Smile
