Copying file from *absolute* path [message #262763]

I want copy from a file into a directory of my project.
How can I do it? I checked API to get IFile object from
the workspace and found the followings:

ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace().getRoot().getFile(path)

But this does not suite to what I want because this "path"
must be relative to the workspace.

My "path" points an absolute (from OS filesystem) file.

If you want to copy into your workspace, you use the standard java.io
FileInputStream on your file that you want to copy from (in your file
system), and then use the IFile.setContents() to the file in the
workspace that you want to copy into. Note, this will make a copy, so
timestamps on the new IFile will not be the same as the timestamps from
the file in your system.
