Hi,
I have an EMF model stored in my plugin under directory /models/devices.pvt
so to access the files in the deployed plugin I used :
Bundle bundle = Platform.getBundle("com.arean.system");
String filePath = FileLocator.resolve(bundle.getEntry("/models/devices.pvt ")).getFile();

Is there is a way to create IFile from the file path.

usually I used blow code to access the one in the workspace , but definitely it is not the same when access plugin resources.

IFile modelFile = ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace().getRoot().getFile(path.append(fileName));

appreciate anyhelp

You can use
URI.createPlatformPluginURI("/com.arean.system/models/devices.pvt") to
create a URI that can be used to load that resource in a resource set; I
believe a file locator as you've used will cause the jarred bundle to be
unpacked, which isn't necessary...

No, not if the file isn't in the workspace. But it doesn't need to be
in the workspace in order to load it into a resource set, you only need
the URI that accesses it as I showed above.

Hi Ed and thank for your reply,

I have used this to load the resources ..
ResourceSet resourceSet = new ResourceSetImpl();
URI fileUri = URI.createPlatformPluginURI("/com.arean.system/models/devices.pvt", false) ;
resource .load(null);

still I need to get the IFile to this resources , so I can set it as an input to my editor . ???

Salwa,

Firstly you can only have IFiles for things in the workspace, and this
file is not in the workspace, so no you can't get that. Secondly, it is
a resource in your bundle so you should not be modifying it. Thirdly,
there's org.eclipse.emf.common.ui.URIEditorInput for opening an editor
for a URI.
