Reading files within workspace [message #216895]

Hi,

I am working on an RCP project, and plan to have a very extensive GUI.

The scenario I have is: A user fires up the project and sees a dialog
box that asks him/her to select a profile. What is the best way to
store a bunch of profile settings that the program can read on startup
based on selection of the user?

I am thinking of storing a file within the workspace and reading it. I
can read the file by setting appropriate working directory thru Eclipse
Run settings, but that requires me to be running the project from
within Eclipse. What should I do to make this independent?

Hamid,

It sounds like Plugin.getStateLocation should be used (or
Plugin.getPreferences).
