Getting the URL for a plugin [message #274882]

I am trying to load a URL for a plugin in development(in the workspace
directory not yet deployed).
If I call
where configElement is of type IConfigurationElement(coming from another
plugin also in development - com.abc).

_configElement.getDeclaringExtension().getDeclaringPluginDes criptor().getInstallURL()

returns /plugin/com.abc.1.0.0. But my plugin has not yet been deployed and
when I try to load images from this directory it fails. How can I get to
the plugin directory when I am still in development.

Thanks
Kiran

Use instead, since getDeclaringPluginDescriptor is deprecated:

URL imageURL =
Platform.getBundle(configElement.getDeclaringExtension().get Namespace()).getEntry( "myimage.gif");

This will return a url to image in your plugin, or null if the image is
not there.

It will work whether in development or deployed.
